Zartan Magis, the wooden chair liquid Starck

Zartan’s chair, signed pair dall’inossidabile Philippe Starck and Eugeni Quitllet is one of the new products from propostai Mgis at the Salone del Mobile 2011. Zartan marks an approach to industrial production is now in an era that is post-plastic and, in fact, is from head to foot in an entirely natural material, called ‘liquid wood’, impossible as that used by Wood Moroso. The new technology uses sawdust discarded and the compound fiber and fish oil or wax generating a non-toxic paste that acts like plastic. This is because Magis explores the benefits of using natural materials to understand what our future will be every day.

Philippe Starck explains: ” Plastic is not biodegradable and can contain carcinogens and other toxic substances that can cause cancer. E ‘based on petroleum, a nonrenewable resource that will soon be harder to find.”

Zartan is available in 5 different finishes: bamboo, flax, hemp, jute, rattan and.

“Young designers need to understand that design is not art or fashion. Their ultimate aim must be to find new solutions to real problems. On the political side of our work we need to overcome the damage production, recognizing the mistakes we made in the past” says Philippe Starck.

“We must be less than useless as you can! in a post-plastic – in a world where we understood that the bioplastic is a crime against humanity – we need to be confident in the genius of mankind”He continues.
