Architectural Elegance: Postmodern Jonas Bohlin 'Lyra' Stools for Magis

A masterclass in tension, gravity, and form. Designed in 1994 by visionary Swedish architect Jonas Bohlin and meticulously crafted in Italy by Magis, the 'Lyra' stool is a celebration of late 20th-century postmodernism. ​Striking a delicate balance between Scandinavian restraint and Italian architectural flair, these stools offer a gallery-quality presence without sacrificing an ounce of comfort. The ergonomically sculpted, continuous curve of the bentwood seat seemingly floats atop a gleaming, kinetic framework of chrome-plated steel. The result is a remarkably airy silhouette that commands the room while allowing light and space to flow freely through your interior. ​Whether poised at a sweeping marble kitchen island, an intimate bespoke home bar, or a curated creative studio, this pair brings an undeniable sculptural sophistication and a storied design pedigree to your home. ​Provenance & Details: ​Designer: Jonas Bohlin ​Atelier / Maker: Magis (Crafted in Italy) ​Design Era: 1994 / Postmodernism ​Materials: Sculpted Bentwood & Chrome-Plated Tubular Steel ​Dimensions: H 30.5” × W 17” × D 17” | Seat H 26.5” ​Condition: Exceptional vintage condition.
