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.
