Magis stool Motta polypropylene

The Motta collection of high stools, designed by renowned designer Jasper Morrison, is born from the synergistic encounter and deep creative bond that has united the designer and Magis since 1993. Taking Giandomenico Belotti's iconic Spaghetti Chair as a noble conceptual reference, Morrison has designed a structurally light seat, characterized by perfectly vertical legs and minimal overall dimensions. The name of the line itself pays homage to the brand's history, evoking Motta di Livenza, Magis's historic home. The stool takes shape from a simple and elegant frame in glossy painted steel tubing, expertly combined with a seat and backrest molded from recycled polypropylene. Designed for a wide range of uses, from the home to the most demanding contract settings (bars, restaurants, and lounge areas), Motta stands out for its clean lines, sleek silhouette, and versatile aesthetics that integrate seamlessly into any architectural context.

Design Philosophy, Eco-Sustainability, and Techno-Polymer Comfort

The Motta stool embodies Jasper Morrison's "super normal" philosophy through targeted engineering details:

• Monochrome and Visual Coherence: The four-color palette (red, green, blue, and brown) is designed to create a unique chromatic block. The glossy paint finish of the steel tube contrasts chromatically with the matte finish of the recycled polypropylene, generating a sophisticated surface texture contrast while maintaining rigorous color uniformity.
• Circular Sustainability: The use of recycled polypropylene for the seat and backrest demonstrates Magis' commitment to reducing environmental impact, transforming industrial waste into durable, robust, and structurally stable furniture components.
• Vertical Ergonomics: Although the verticality of the legs minimizes the stool's footprint, the integrated backrest offers optimal lumbar support, transforming a slim seat into an extremely comfortable element, even for prolonged use.

Product Maintenance and Care

Proper and immediate cleaning ensures the longevity of the materials and maintains the structure's brilliance. Glossy:

• Cleaning the Polypropylene and Frame: We recommend using a soft, dry or damp cloth. If necessary, use only pH-neutral liquid soap diluted in water.
• Products to Avoid: Never use abrasive sponges or metal scouring pads, as they may permanently scratch both the glossy finish of the steel tube and the technopolymer surface. Avoid the use of acidic products, pure chemical solvents, and detergents containing ammonia.

FAQ

How do I choose the correct height for the Motta stool between the Medium and High versions?
The choice depends on the height of the countertop. The Medium version (seat 67.5 cm) is ideal for peninsulas and kitchen islands.Residential, whose standard tops typically range between 90 and 95 cm. The Alta version (77 cm seat) is designed for commercial bar counters or high aperitif tables, with heights ranging from 105 to 110 cm.

Can the Motta polypropylene stool also be used in outdoor spaces or on terraces? No, the technical data sheet specifies that the Motta collection is designed exclusively for indoor use (domestic and contract indoor use). The glossy painted steel tube frame is not treated to resist direct weather or salt spray.

What differentiates this stool from other high contract chairs? The Motta stool stands out for its incredible visual and ergonomic lightness, inspired by the history of Italian design, combined with a green spirit. Unlike many bulky commercial stools, the small diameter of the metal frame and vertical legs allow multiple units to be combined in tight spaces without visually saturating the space beneath the counter.
