A sculptural rocker in one material

The Magis catalogue presents Voido, created by Ron Arad, as a rocking chair that looks like a piece of contemporary sculpture. Behind that form is an industrial process: rotational-moulded polyethylene, which makes large yet light shapes possible.

Comfort behind a simple outline

According to the catalogue, Voido's sleek, ergonomic volumes welcome the body in a flowing embrace, and its seeming simplicity hides considerable complex research and engineering. The same page and sheet describe the chair as suitable for outdoor use and for domestic use and contracts.
