Magis | Virtual Fellowship
Alberto Perazza, CEO, and Enrico Perin, Magis’ Design Manager, take us through the design process, materiality, and manufacturing process and give their insights on how they work with some of the best designers in the world while keeping the brand identity.
“Magis was the most interesting session for me because they encouraged us to be brave in our designs and to freely present our more unconventional projects.”
Alberto Perezza
Alberto has been CEO since 2016. Working his way up in his family’s business, he became a partner in 1999, set up the Japanese branch of the company in 2006 and in 2009 oversaw the development of the new headquarters for Magis.
For more than 40 years, Magis has been creating design products for people’s homes, offices and public spaces. The company is produced in Italy, in a region known for centuries for its craftsmanship, which they want to preserve.
While always searching for new and exceptional talent, Magis works with some of the greatest designers known today such as Jasper Morrison, Konstantin Grcic, Philippe Starck, and Ronan & Erwan Bouroullec.
Enrico Perin
In 2001, Enrico graduated with an Industrial Design degree from the IUAV, Venice University Institute of Architecture, and in the same year he began his long relationship with Magis. He oversees the development of the projects of the best internationally renowned designers, including Philippe Starck, Jasper Morrison, Konstantin Grcic, Ron Arad, Thomas Heatherwick, and Ronan & Erwan Bouroullec. Audacity, ethics and research of profound design content are values at the base of his work.
