The Sparkling Chair was designed by Marcel Wanders for Magis. The Italian company manufactures Sparkling in the Blow Moulding procedure out of polystyrene, what makes its appearance airy and imaginative.

The name “Sparkling” explains the chair’s look, it is glossy and flashing. The design and name of the exceptional chair are therefore an homage to the childlike ability of enjoying and of unprejudiced evaluating the surroundings. With the Sparkling Chair, the Netherlands designer Marcel Wanders has created a fanciful chair that wants to surpass stuck and cramped thoughts and designs.

Like an inflated piece of furniture or a plastic bottle is how the Sparkling Chair appears with its round forms on the first sight. The chair owes its look to the Blow Moulding procedure that is used by Magis for the production. Despite all playfulness of the design, Sparkling is still a serious chair for indoor and outdoor areas.

The Sparkling Chair is demountable in parts. The legs can be removed for a transport or to store them. Sparkling possesses small rubber slides under its feet for a safer stand of the polystyrene chair.
