Tuffy
Über dieses Produkt
Architonic ID: 1268819
Einführungsjahr: 2014
Following the success of the three-legged stools Tom and Jerry, which inaugurated the collection three years ago, Magis now presents the chair Tuffy, which shares the same screw-shaped height-adjustment mechanism, but this time in a four-legged chair with an unmistakably distinctive, ergonomically-designed T-shaped plastic back. Designed as a work chair, suitable for a clerical office or for the study at home, Tuffy looks equally at ease in a children’s room or in any other space that hosts the activities of the body and mind, with no restrictions of style or time, alone or accompanied by the other models in the collection The Wild Bunch.
Swivel chair, adjustable in height
Materials: seat and frame in natural solid beech or painted; back, joint and screw in polypropylene with glass fibre added.
Magis logo is stamped on each product of our collection vouching for their originality
