The Magis Proust Armchair by Alessandro Mendini is based on his original Proust Chair for Studio Alchimia in 1978, called "Poltrona di Proust". It's design was romantic and baroque on which an endless number of polychromatic points were painted by hand using the 'pointillism' technique.
These points invade the whole armchair, its fabric and the wooden decorations. In homage to the original chair, Mendini has created this utilitarian version in conjunction with Magis for production on an commercial scale.
