'sparkling' chair created by marcel wanders for magis is produced from plastic using
a blow molding process commonly used in the creation of PET bottles. its transparent
form and round ended legs are similar in aesthetic to soda bottles. the name of the design
derives its influence from stars, and lights as the surface of the chair features light diffusing characteristics.

'sparkling' chair is currently being showcased at the milan furniture fair 2010.
