Magis stool Mariolina

The Mariolina stool collection, designed by master designer Enzo Mari for Magis, is a designer reissue that celebrates the formal simplicity and construction rigor typical of his unmistakable design language. Developed in the wake of the success of the eponymous chair, Mariolina represents a perfect example of industrial intelligence: an honest piece of furniture, extremely sturdy and devoid of any superfluous detail. The structure is made of a streamlined steel tube frame, available in both chromed and painted versions, onto which the molded polypropylene seat and backrest are inserted. Thanks to its calibrated proportions and the ability to be stacked up to 5 units high, the Mariolina stool is the ideal solution for dynamic home environments, such as snack areas and kitchen islands, as well as for intensive use in contract settings such as bars, cafes, and coworking spaces.

Design Philosophy, Robustness, and Signature Details

The Mariolina stool stands out for the meticulous attention Enzo Mari has paid to the engineering and integrity of its components:

• Detail as a Graphic Element: The ribs and joints on the back of the backrest and under the seat are not hidden, but are highlighted by fastening details in contrasting colors (gray, beige, or orange). This approach makes the furniture's construction method explicit, transforming it into a distinctive graphic feature.
• Space-Saving Stackability: Designed to meet the needs of flexibilityPerfect for contemporary spaces, Mariolina can be easily stacked up to 5 stools high, reducing visual and physical clutter when not in use or during cleaning.
• Durability and Flexibility: Molded polypropylene ensures a comfortable seat, flexible in the right places yet extremely sturdy. The steel frame, both in the high-quality chrome finish and in the protective painted versions, guarantees structural stability that can withstand continuous stress.

Product Maintenance and Care

The materials chosen by Magis allow for extremely quick cleaning and guarantee maximum hygiene:

• Cleaning the Polypropylene and Frame: We recommend using a soft, dry or damp cloth. If necessary, use a neutral, pH-balanced liquid detergent generously diluted in water.
• Products to Avoid: Never use abrasive sponges, scouring pads, or harsh cleaning powders, as they could damage the chrome plating or scratch the polypropylene. Avoid using acids, pure chemical solvents, alcohol, or ammonia-based products.

FAQ

What do the color codes (e.g., 1700 C, 1420 C) shown in the color table mean?
These codes indicate the specific color selections for polypropylene established by Enzo Mari to ensure a consistent, signature aesthetic. For example, White corresponds to the 1700 C shade with gray details, while Orange corresponds to the refined 1085 C shade with beige details.

What is the main difference in use between the chromed frame (SD312) and the painted frame (SD310)?
The polished chrome frame (SD312) gives the stool a more technical, reflective, and luxurious look, ideal for enhancing elite bar counters or minimalist kitchen islands. The painted frame (SD310), available in white or anthracite gray, offers a more sober and integrated look, ideal for tone-on-tone combinations with the walls or other furnishings in the room.

Can the Mariolina stool also be stacked with the Mariolina chair model?
No, stackability of up to 5 units is guaranteed only between stools of the same model. The Mariolina chair has a different metal frame geometry and must be stacked separately to ensure maximum stability and avoid damaging the materials.
