Designed by the acclaimed Konstantin Grcic, the Bishop dining chair for Magis is an exercise in material honesty, formal rigor, and subtle elegance. Its name, "Bishop," evokes a sense of strength and verticality, a presence the chair delivers through its clean, upright posture and balanced proportions. Crafted entirely from a 1 mm thick sheet of steel, which is laser-cut, folded, and welded into a remarkably solid structure. This unconventional material choice showcases the sheet steel's potential for both precision and malleability, lending the chair both visual and structural integrity. The design is deceptively simple and almost archetypal—four legs, a seat, and a backrest. However, this minimalist geometry is elevated by meticulous attention to detail and a crisp, industrial aesthetic. A glossy polyester powder coating enhances the Bishop dining chair's clean lines and gives it a subtle aura of light, contrasting the raw, industrial nature of the steel with a refined finish. It is available in a variety of vibrant colors. The use of steel means the chair is designed for longevity, able to age gracefully and potentially develop a natural patina over time for a bold and timeless appearance. For an elevated sitting experience, an optional seat cushion in polyurethane foam, upholstered in leather, is available. The Bishop dining chair seamlessly blends industrial sensibility with quiet sophistication. It is a compelling piece that tells the story of Grcic's creative acuity and Magis' visionary spirit for material experimentation. Equally suited for residential interiors, offices, and commercial/contract environments, Bishop is a versatile solution where the balance between a minimalist aesthetic and a strong, unforgettable character is key. It's an enduring design that commands attention with its simple, authoritative silhouette.
