Magis side table Archeo

The Archeo collection, designed by the brilliant and eclectic designer Jaime Hayón for Magis, redefines the concept of outdoor furniture through a series of multifunctional accessories with a pronounced sculptural character. Designed to be used equally as a practical side table or a sturdy stool, Archeo perfectly embodies the Spanish designer's expressive language of organic lines, playful shapes, and anthropomorphic volumes. Molded entirely from high-quality polyethylene using rotational molding technology, this piece of furniture is specifically designed to resist weather and UV rays without deterioration, making it the ideal addition to gardens, terraces, poolsides, and outdoor lounge areas, as well as contemporary residential or contract interiors.

Product Advantages and Versatility of Polyethylene

The Archeo project stands out for its perfect combination of artistic expression and industrial functionality:

• Intelligent Dual Function: The geometry and strength of polyethylene allow each piece to change its identity as needed. Archeo can serve as a practical tabletop for cocktails, books, and cordless lamps during a garden event, instantly transforming into a comfortable additional seat or stool when guests arrive.
• Total Outdoor Resistance: Polyethylene is a waterproof, non-toxic, and recyclable polymer material. It is resistant to rain, salt water, chlorine, or seasonal temperature fluctuations, maintaining its structural stability and surface texture over time.
• Aesthetics by Jaime Hayón: With its sinuous curves and almost tribal, totemic presence, Archeo is not a simple serving piece, but a true work of art capable of lending strong personality and a touch of elegant irony to any interior or landscape design.

Product Maintenance and Care

Polyethylene is renowned for its extreme ease of maintenance and routine cleaning:

• Routine Cleaning: We recommend using a soft, dry or damp cloth. For stubborn outdoor dirt (dust, soil, plant residue), use pH-neutral liquid soap diluted in plenty of water. Rinse if necessary.
• Products to Avoid: Absolutely avoid using abrasive sponges, scouring pads, or hard-bristled brushes, which could scratch the surface and dull it. Do not use harsh chemicals, pure solvents, acetone, or detergents containing ammonia or acids.

FAQ

Can I leave the Archeo table/stool outside in the rain or in winter?
Yes, absolutely. Archeo is specifically designed for continuous outdoor use. The single-piece polyethylene structure is completely waterproof and free of cracks where water could seep or collect harmfully. During periods of prolonged winter inactivity, we recommend surface cleaning to prevent the permanent buildup of atmospheric dust.

The 46.7 cm "Tall" version is convenient for useCan it be used as a seat around a table?
Yes. The 46.7 cm height corresponds exactly to the standard height of traditional dining chairs and garden chairs. This makes the Archeo Alto model a perfect, high-performance stool for use as a decorative seat or to add seating to the table during outdoor lunches and dinners.

How do I clean sunscreen or drink stains on the Archeo surface?
Thanks to the smooth, non-porous surface of polyethylene, stains do not penetrate the material. We recommend removing substances such as sunscreen, coffee, or wine as soon as possible with a damp cloth and neutral soap, to prevent the prolonged exposure of the sun's rays from "setting" the dirt on the surface, making subsequent cleaning more difficult.
