Twain

Origin

Twain is a Magis collection of low chairs with arms and an ottoman by Konstantin Grcic, with a version made in partnership with Hella Jongerius. The chair takes its inspiration from the classic Safari Chair and goes a step further, becoming a study in sustainability.

Design Language

Wood, leather and fabric are brought together: interlocking beech spindles in natural or black, held in tension by a strap and ratchet, with two leather strips as armrests and a seat and backrest in self-supporting fabric. The backrest tilts with the movement of the sitter. In the Hella Jongerius version a draped cover in two unique patterns is added.
