Raviolo is a low lounger by Ron Arad and Magis. As well as Voido, Raviolo had the goal of creating a plastic product in a rotation procedure that convinces with an unusual shape and fulfills the highest demands.

Ron Arad and Magis selected a shape that is based on a wound plastic band for Raviolo. The idea of the design has long remained in Ron Arad’s head and now it was perfectly adapted to the rotational procedure. The finished Raviolo lounger integrates the characteristics of the manufacturing process in its design and also displays the rotation process at the external, wound texture. Seat and backspace of the Raviolo are flat.

The apparent and haptic break as well as the interlaced shape of the lounger create a bloated appearance that reminded Ron Arad of filled pasta. Therefore he named his lounger Raviolo. Raviolo consists of polyethylene and is adapted to indoor and outdoor use.
