A Virtual Workspace Expressed Through Styling

Jerszy Seymour's talent was recognized in his youth by Eugenio Perazza, the founder of MAGIS.
He went on to receive the "Dedalus Award for European Design" in 2000 and the "Taro Okamoto Award for Contemporary Art" in 2003, establishing his reputation globally.
His works have been exhibited in numerous museums worldwide, including the Design Museum in London, the Vitra Design Museum in Basel and Berlin, and the Palais de Tokyo in France. Furthermore, they are part of the permanent collections at the Museum of Modern Art in New York, the National Museum of Modern Art in France, the Centre Pompidou in Paris, the MAK in Vienna, the Grand Musée in Lyon, and the Centre national d'art contemporain in Luxembourg, a testament to his remarkable career.
In recent years, his activities have expanded to include industrial and post-industrial product design, participation in actions and installations, as well as film, performance, music, and writing.
After approximately 20 years of collaboration between Seymour and MAGIS, we turn our attention once again to his latest work, "Bureaurama," presented at the recent Salone del Mobile in Milan.
This stool, with its linear form, offers a novel impression. Available in three sizes, it can be used not only as a stool but also as a side table, offering versatile functionality.
Lightweight and portable, it can be used both indoors and outdoors, providing a striking accent to any space.
Now, an exhibition titled "Naughty, Happy, Poetry," featuring "Bureaurama," will be held at the MAGIS Tokyo Showroom.
This exhibition proposes a virtual workspace that serves as a creative platform, utilizing "Bureaurama" stools, tables, and shelves.
How will Jerszy Seymour's unique poetic sensibility and worldview influence visitors?
