An air of lightness
Ergonomic, attractive and unmistakeable: Martin Ballendat’s magnum cantilever chair is a design classic that offers all the comfort of a traditional upholstered chair despite its light and airy silhouette. Natural leather and fabric made from the finest wool ensure optimal temperature and moisture control and make the magnum surprisingly soft to sit on. The deluxe upholstery is complemented and enhanced by flexible underside elastic straps and a perfectly moulded seat shell. The metal base stands in elegant contrast to the natural qualities of the leather, fabric and solid wood.

Furniture designed with flair
Martin Ballendat has been flourishing on the international design scene for over 30 years. Today, the Bochum-born designer’s studio produces projects for prestigious brands across the globe.
