London-based designer Konstantin Grcic crafted the Brut collection for Italian label Magis, inspired by industrialized materials. The talented designer transformed raw materials such as cast iron into beautiful, sleek pieces of home furniture. Grcic makes the most out of these natural materials, refining and merging them with stylish upholstery for an elegant end product. Most commonly, cast iron is used to craft heavy-duty structures, such as bridges or machinery; Grcic uses the unconventional choice in contrast with soft fabrics, wood and marble for the Brut collection.
The Brut collection offers two sofas, an armchair, two benches and tables. Specifically, the furniture collection is designed to fill the spaces of homes and commercial settings to offer a place of social purposes or rest.
