Designed by the visionary Marc Newson and released by Magis,the Nimrod Armchair is a quintessential example of Newson’s "biomorphic" style. It blends Space Age nostalgia with cutting-edge manufacturing, resulting in a chair that looks like it was plucked straight from a 1970s sci-fi film set in the future.The standout feature of the Nimrod is its monolithic shell. Newson utilized blow-moulding technology—a process typically reserved for industrial mass-production like plastic bottles—to create a seamless, hollow vessel. The shell is characterized by smooth, rounded edges and a complete absence of sharp corners. Its white of the polyethylene shell acts as a perfect frame for the vibrant, plush cushions, creating a visual "pop" that defines the room. Marc Newson is one of the most influential designers of our time (the man behind the Apple Watch and the world-record-breaking Lockheed Lounge). Owning a Nimrod Armchair is like owning a piece of industrial design history. It perfectly captures the "Retro-Futurism" trend. It feels vintage and modern at the same time, making it a versatile choice for both ultra-modern lofts and mid-century eclectic homes. Despite its plastic exterior, the deep-set cushions and the reclined angle of the backrest provide a surprisingly comfortable, "cocoon-like" sitting experience.
