Philippe Starck Reimagines the Director’s Chair for Magis

The director’s chair has been around for ages with little to no changes in design… until now. Philippe Starck takes the design for a spin and reimagines it for Magis with a little help from technology. Stanley combines a single, scissor-cross support system made of fiberglass-reinforced polypropylene with a seat and back in a high-performance fabric that results in a fresh new approach to a universally used chair.

Stanley works both indoors and out and in various situations, thanks to its durability. It happens to be the first folding chair that’s passed the highest level strength and stability tests offered on either side of the Atlantic Ocean.
