Ineke Hans (born in 1966) studied product design in the Netherlands, before graduating with an MA in Furniture Design from the Royal College of Art in London in 1995 and eventually setting up her own studio in the Netherlands in 1998. She started by creating her own furniture and product collections, which are still sold via INEKEHANS|COLLECTION today. Now STUDIO|INEKEHANS designs and works with a small team on a wide range of 3D projects. Furniture and products come as one-offs, small batch products or mass-produced items, based on the interest in designing and defining objects well suited to new and appropriate production methods. The studio also designs and produces exhibitions and architectural projects.

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.
