“Simplicity and great love for quality” are the hallmarks of this project designed by Sofie
Ladefoged. The Pila chair and Pilo table featuring legs made of natural ash and white HPL ta-
ble top are characterized by high stability and simple elegance. This ensures high-frequency
use by a large flow of people and at the same time meets aesthetic requirements.
“Chair on air” was an educational
exhibition project on the SUPSI
Campus of Mendrisio, the Uni-
versity of Applied Sciences and
Arts of Southern Switzerland.
With an exemplary selection of
13 chairs by Magis and Seledue,
the exhibition displayed the his-
tory of the chairs, their projects
and production processes within
the panorama of contemporary
design. It was located in the
spaces of the SUPSI Campus
canteen, which also features
Officina fratino tables and Mari-
olina chairs.
