About this piece
The Maui was designed by Vico Magistretti in 1996 for Italian furniture stalwarts Kartell. A stackable system, that is light weight and strong.
The chairs are made of polypropylene and chrome plated steel. Inspired by Arne Jacobsen’s curved plywood chairs, Vico designed the Maui to fit multiple configurations and a multitude of colours and settings. Still in production after 26 years, the Maui is one of Magistretti’s lasting legacies.
Verified authentic and available now in Melbourne.

Design Story
Born in 1902 in Copenhagen, Jacobsen trained as an architect but became known globally for his ability to merge buildings and interiors into a single, cohesive design language. He believed architecture should extend into everything inside it, from the structure down to the chair.
His most famous work came in the 1950s and 60s, when he designed entire environments rather than standalone objects. The Egg Chair and Swan Chair were originally created for the SAS Royal Hotel in Copenhagen, a project where he also designed the building, lighting, textiles, and furniture as one unified system.
Earlier, he had already made his mark with functional yet elegant pieces like the Series 7 Chair and the Ant Chair, which became some of the most widely used chairs in history due to their simplicity and industrial scalability.
Jacobsen’s legacy sits at the intersection of architecture and object design. He didn’t just design furniture to be looked at, but to complete spaces. His work still defines modern minimalism, especially in Scandinavian interiors where clarity, proportion, and function matter as much as aesthetics
