Magis Voido Rocking Chair
Created by Ron Arad, one of the biggest designers in the international arena, with his masterfully unconventional style, Voido is a rocking chair that looks like a piece of contemporary sculpture, but is made using industrial technology capable of producing large yet light shapes: rotational-moulded polyethylene. Voido’s sleek, ergonomic volumes welcome the body in a flowing embrace, but its seeming simplicity hides considerable complex research and engineering. Voido is available in a glossy black or white finish, for an irresistibly glamorous effect, perfect for the most sophisticated of environments, or in a matt version, in a range of colours to fit in with any space and style, including outdoors, thanks to the water- and weather-proof nature of the polyethylene.

Ron Arad
Israel, 1951
Arad was born in Tel Aviv. He attended the Bezalel Academy of Arts and Design in Jerusalem between 1971–73 and the Architectural Association in London from 1974–79. In 1989, with Caroline Thorman, he founded Arad Associates, an architecture and design firm, in London. His brother is the violist and educator Atar Arad.
Arad's career as a designer began with the Rover chair. He was Head of Design Products Department at the Royal College of Art from 1997 to 2009. Arad designed in 1994 the Bookworm bookcase, which was still produced in 2011 by the Italian company Kartell.
Arad's work has been described as "scary", considering its "macho concrete and cut metal; tense sheets of tempered steel and guillotine edges".
In 2005, Arad designed chandeliers for the Swarovski crystal company which if one has the number, can display text messages that are sent to it by incorporating light-emitting diodes (LEDs) operated by SMS text messages. He also has had tables that climb walls instead of being centered in the room. Arad's works are often worked into distinctive biomorphic shapes and are created from his medium of choice, steel. He made plans to expand his studio in 2008.
