Magis' Sequoia bar stool has an easily recognisable design inspired by tree branches as well as the frames of bicycles. In fact, designers Torbjørn Anderssen & Espen Voll used the working title ”Forest” for the stool before settling on the name Sequoia. The footrest of the bar stool has the same shape as the seat, creating freedom for movement as well as a uniform expression that pleases not only your feet but also the eye. The simple, stripped-down stool is perfect for public spaces such as a restaurant or hotel lobby, or to brighten up the décor of your home kitchen.

Designer
The design agency Anderssen & Voll was born in 2009, when Torbjørn Anderssen (b. 1976) and Espen Voll (b. 1965), founders of an Oslo-based design company Norway Says decided to start a new company. The duo share a similar background, having both studied at the Oslo School of Art and at the Bergen School of Art and Design, where Anderssen is currently a professor.
In terms of their work, they also share the same goals: Anderssen & Voll want to design and create products that will last a lifetime, both in terms of function and aesthetics. The design studio has done work for a number of different clients, including Muuto, Swedes, Iform, Fjordfiesta and LK Hjelle. They have been awarded several prizes both in their home country Norway and abroad.
