Concept
Le fait que Perazza, fondateur et patron de Magis, ait choisi le mulet comme emblème de l’entreprise, en dit long sur lui. Et bien sûr, ça en dit long sur l’entreprise, sur son esprit et son caractère de travailleur infatigable. Alors que nous étions en train de travailler sur BRUT, la collection de meubles en fonte, Perazza me demanda de dessiner un mulet à réaliser en fonte pour le 40e anniversaire de l’entreprise. Passé le premier moment de surprise, je me dis que je n’avais sans doute plus dessiné d’animaux depuis l’enfance. Je l’ai fait et ça m’a amusé. ETTORE est devenu un vrai mulet, avec les pattes solidement plantées par terre, fort et déterminé. Mais c’est aussi quelque chose de beau, d’aimable, de gai. Tout comme Magis.
