sustainable
design
It sounds like a slogan of the present day. It’s
actually a declared mission that Magis has been
pursuing since the early 2000s.
Experimentation, wellbeing and sustainability:
these are the tenets of our innovation, in which
design is about complete respect of the person
and the environment.
This mindfulness is also reflected in our research
into recyclable, biodegradable and non-toxic
materials. But above all it is seen in the effort to
choose new technologies that reduce waste and
material use and focus on greener design that
transcends time and fashion.
A good product should last.
That’s what we understand by sustainability.
Since our launch back in 1976 we have enjoyed
the challenge of exalting the dignity of everyday
objects and building relationships with trusted
suppliers and collaborators. Because being gre-
en is about more than just image. It is by ma-
king ethical choices and ensuring continuity that
sustainability is promoted throughout the supply
chain.
We all have a responsibility towards the envi-
ronment, and Magis has decided to take on this
responsibility by choosing excellent, forward-loo-
king, timeless design.
Every product, every collection is designed
around the person and the environment, for an
increasing, collective well-being. This is why it is
important to shun disposable products, and in-
stead create pieces that will accompany us over
time before ultimately being recycled.
We were among the first companies to look for
real alternatives to plastic, going against the flow
when the market was still pushing towards this
material. But it’s worth noting that good quality
plastic, even if it doesn’t come from post-consu-
mer waste, is not only recyclable but can last for
many years, reducing short-term environmental
impact.
This is also a part of research and development:
experimenting with new materials and rediscove-
ring old ones, in a circular economy perspective
that embraces new industrial processes with a
low environmental impact, from production to
logistics.
Promoting a circular economy also means main-
taining lasting and trusting relationships with
partners, developing together. We have always
focused on young talent, and with them we have
grown and formed a team that is now part of our
family. We like to keep banking on emerging de-
signers. Because we are always looking for new
ideas, new languages, new materials and inno-
vative methods. To respond to that “something
more” (Magis is a Latin locution meaning “more”)
that defines us as a company.
“End the Dictatorship of Plastic”.
