Big Will table marks another chapter in a gripping story, in which the Magis phi-
losophy and technology, with its friendly shapes and rigorous production, meets
the creative spirit of Philippe Starck.
The Big Will table is actually equipped with two fixed legs ending with rubber pads
and two legs ending with wheels that move easily. It’s interesting the contrast with
the sober lines, the classic materials and the modernity of the ingenious wheel sys-
tem.
Big Will’s most striking and characterful features are its wheels – positioned at
the extending end of the table - and the die-cast aluminium structure, which
comes either in a glossy finish or painted white or black. The top could be in
tempered glass, acid-etched or in American walnut. Leaves for extendable ver-
sion are in MDF laminate painted.
Legs are in die-cast aluminium and can be polished or painted. Crosspieces are in
aluminium, polished or painted.
The table is available in four dimensions and also as an extendable version.
The extandable version measures 200 x 100 cm closed, but with two 50-cm exten-
sion leaves, it can reach a maximum overall length of three metres.
The table can be extended effortlessly, without needing to lift it, simply by gliding the
extending end on the floor thanks to the two wheels, and to a patented sliding and
locking mechanism developed especially for Big Will.
