Alessandro Mendini transforms the Proust armchair into a striking dialogue between decorative history and contemporary production, preserving its theatrical silhouette while giving it a durable material identity. The generous proportions, pronounced arms and sculptural back create an unmistakable focal point for gardens, terraces, hotel lounges and design-led residential spaces. Constructed from rotational-moulded polyethylene, the chair is weatherproof and suitable for outdoor use, allowing an expressive form to move confidently beyond the traditional interior. As a designer outdoor armchair, Proust combines visual drama with practical performance, offering architects, interior designers and hoteliers a seating piece capable of defining a space through shape alone.

Sculptural comfort within Magis Armchairs & Lounge

Positioned within Magis Armchairs & Lounge, Proust offers a substantial lounge format with a distinctive decorative presence. Its polyethylene construction supports exterior applications while maintaining the enveloping proportions associated with a statement armchair, making it suitable for terraces, landscaped hospitality areas and contemporary residential settings. The family is available in Black 1763C, White 1735C, Red 1114C, Blue 1192C and Orange 1087C, allowing the silhouette to appear either restrained or deliberately expressive. As a weatherproof polyethylene armchair, it brings colour, scale and sculptural character to outdoor environments without relying on delicate materials or decorative upholstery.

Rotational-moulded polyethylene with contemporary durability

The Magis Proust outdoor armchair in rotational-moulded polyethylene expresses the experimental design culture of Magis through an unexpected combination of ornate form and industrial material. Polyethylene gives the chair a continuous moulded surface and the resilience required for open-air use, while the monochromatic finishes emphasise the complex geometry of the silhouette rather than competing with it. The result is an outdoor lounge chair that feels equally relevant in a private garden, hotel terrace or expressive contract environment. Its strong visual identity allows it to work as a standalone accent, while the durable construction makes the piece suitable for projects where sculptural impact must coexist with practical everyday use.

An expressive icon within Magis Masterpieces

As part of Magis Masterpieces, Proust represents a design in which historical references, bold proportion and contemporary manufacturing meet in a single object. The armchair coordinates naturally with Magis Tables & Low Tables, where a compact surface can support lounge, hospitality or terrace compositions without competing with the chair’s elaborate profile. Used individually, Proust becomes a focal point; arranged within a broader outdoor setting, it introduces rhythm and colour while retaining a clear architectural role. Whether specified as a polyethylene lounge chair for a premium terrace, a dramatic seat for a hotel or a sculptural accent for a contemporary home, Proust offers a refined balance of weatherproof performance, expressive colour and unmistakable design character.
