Marcello Ziliani was born in Brescia in 1963. He doesn’t like absolutism and indestructible certainties; he loves to look at things with ever-new eyes, so as to tune into them, he prefers to speak softly and, above all, to listen. He believes that any design project is essentially a wish, a dream of flight, and that, even if you have to run around and flap your arms in vain, sooner or later you with get to glide through the air for ten metres. Like all designers, to some extent, he has a number of awards and accolades in his cabinet, and has given lectures, workshops, and exhibitions, served on juries and so on.

Magis was established in 1976 in the north east of Italy, one of Europe's most dynamic industrial areas. Its success is based on the desire to provide a broad swathe of users with access to high functional and technological quality products for the home, developed in partnership with major international designers, with a vision of the resulting products that is ethical and poetic as well as aesthetic. 

Magis products are dedicated to their international public and are all 100% “Made in Italy”: a guarantee of high quality, in line with the firm's tradition, which has developed from its craftsmanship and cultural roots, through the evolving styles and industrial growth of the eighties and nineties, and continues to comprise one of the company's greatest and most valuable assets.
