Within Magis Chairs & Small Armchairs, the Magis Déjà-vu chair with extruded aluminium legs and polished die-cast aluminium back brings a quiet architectural presence to contemporary dining and hospitality interiors. Its clean silhouette is defined by precise proportions, a reflective metallic finish and a deliberate sense of visual restraint. Conceived for indoor use, Déjà-vu offers a refined alternative to heavier seating materials, allowing light to interact with its polished surfaces while maintaining a crisp structural identity. Flame-retardant construction supports demanding residential and professional applications, making this polished aluminium dining chair particularly suited to restaurants, elegant homes, meeting areas and contract environments where durability must coexist with understated design.

Naoto Fukasawa and the beauty of familiar proportions

Naoto Fukasawa approaches Déjà-vu through reduction and familiarity, creating a chair whose apparent simplicity reveals careful attention to proportion, material and construction. Extruded aluminium legs provide a precise structural rhythm, while the polished die-cast back introduces a smooth reflective element that gives the chair its distinctive character. Rather than relying on decorative detail, the design allows manufacturing techniques and material quality to shape the visual experience. This modern aluminium chair works naturally around dining tables or in refined hospitality settings, where its slim profile helps maintain openness and architectural continuity. The result is a seat that feels recognizable yet carefully resolved, balancing everyday functionality with a calm contemporary expression.

Aluminium precision through a contemporary Italian design language

The design philosophy of Magis emerges through a direct celebration of aluminium and the different techniques used to shape it. Déjà-vu combines structural clarity with a polished surface that adds luminosity without making the chair visually excessive. Its flame-retardant properties increase versatility in professional interiors, while the metallic construction gives the piece a durable and disciplined character for frequent use. The Déjà-vu polished chair can sit comfortably in minimalist spaces or introduce a controlled reflective accent within richer material schemes involving wood, stone or lacquered surfaces. For architects and interior designers, it offers a precise seating solution in which technical production, visual lightness and everyday practicality remain closely connected.
