Magis Substance armchair with ash frame and polypropylene seat

Within Magis Chairs & Small Armchairs, the Magis Substance armchair with ash plywood frame, polypropylene seat and integrated armrests brings a calm, supportive presence to contemporary dining and hospitality interiors. Conceived for indoor use, its balanced proportions make it suitable for private dining rooms, restaurants, meeting areas and refined contract spaces where comfort must remain visually controlled. The armrests add a more relaxed posture than a standard dining chair, while the wood structure keeps the silhouette warm and architectural. Supplied with felt pads, the chair also protects suitable finished floors, and an optional seat cushion is available and not included for projects that require additional softness.

Material balance with a contemporary Italian identity

The design language of Magis emerges through the meeting of ash plywood and moulded polypropylene, combining natural warmth with a precise, practical seating surface. Finish options include Natural Ash 7018/White 1735C, Natural Ash 7018/Mustard 1015C, Natural Ash 7018/Black 1768C and Black Ash 7065/Black 1768C. These combinations allow the armchair to move from light tonal schemes to stronger graphic interiors without changing its essential form. As a wood frame dining armchair, Substance offers a refined balance of tactile material quality, durable everyday use and understated visual character for residential and professional environments.

A natural companion to Magis Tables & Low Tables

Substance coordinates naturally with Magis Tables & Low Tables, creating dining, meeting and hospitality compositions where timber, colour and surface materials can interact with clarity. The supportive arms make the chair particularly suitable for longer meals, conversation and meeting settings, while the compact profile prevents repeated seating arrangements from feeling visually heavy. Natural Ash paired with White or Mustard introduces a softer, warmer expression, while Black combinations create a more architectural contrast. The optional cushion can increase comfort without altering the clean outline, making this dining chair with arms an adaptable choice for restaurants, premium homes and design-led contract interiors.

Naoto Fukasawa and the refinement of everyday comfort

Naoto Fukasawa gives Substance its quiet identity through proportion, restraint and a direct relationship between structure and use. The ash plywood frame defines the chair with a warm, continuous presence, while the polypropylene seat introduces a smooth contemporary counterpoint. Rather than relying on decorative detail, the design builds character through subtle transitions, controlled geometry and an easy relationship with the surrounding space. As a modern wooden armchair, Substance works equally well around a residential dining table, in a sophisticated restaurant or within a meeting environment where comfort and visual simplicity are essential. For architects, interior designers and hoteliers, Naoto Fukasawa x Magis offers a composed combination of material clarity, supportive seating and contemporary versatility.
