3 Magis Al Bombo adjustable-height, swivel bar stools with seats in polished die-cast aluminum and base, frame, foot-rest, and handle in stainless steel, designed by Stefano Giovannoni and made in Italy. Purchased from an antique shop a few years ago, kept in storage, and considering selling now because they sadly do not fit my new home. Please refer to photos for measurements and condition; the levers and gas pistons for height adjustment still work great and the seats still swivel all around with a little resistance in a couple spots, but the previous owners did not keep up with the aluminum maintenance (Magis sells a special kit for cleaning these properly). These sell for $1450 new plus tax, asking $1150 each or $3200 for the whole set, less than I paid. I will accept bids for a month or two to gauge interest and make a decision then – it is hard to part with these because they are so beautiful and rare. From Magis: “Bombo - presented for the first time in 1996 - is an object which has since become part of the collective imagination as the contemporary stool par excellence. The dominant feature of Bombo is the injection-moulded ABS seat, which is height-adjustable thanks to a gas piston and available in four colours or polished. A few years later, in 2002, Al Bombo was launched. Equal in shape and size, it differs from Bombo for the material. This version has base, footrest and handle in stainless steel and the seat in polished die cast aluminium. Natural aluminium is an alive material: it can become matt with time. To keep the aluminium shiny, you must regularly use appropriate products (product available, sold separately, contact us for more information). Small marks or irregularities may appear on the surface of the seat. They should never be considered as defects, but rather a natural consequence of the work of brushing and manually polishing the aluminium.”
