Iconic coffee table model "Arcadia 80," like other examples designed by Magistretti and produced in recent years by Artemide in the reinforced resin furniture series, proposes a new aesthetic closely linked to production technology. Produced in two sizes, Arcadia is made of GRP, glassfiber reinforced plastic, a thermosetting plastic material consisting of a dense weave of glass fibers impregnated with polyester resins. Arcadia is among the design objects conceived by Magistretti by exploiting the system of "resistance by form," a way of imparting rigidity to plastic materials based on the geometric configuration imprinted on them, and a design concept that has already been tried and tested in other projects, from the Selene chair to the Chimera lamp, the Stadio coffee table and others. The performance of GRP, particularly its strong resistance to impact, bending, scratching and high temperatures, together with its inalterability to weathering make it suitable for outdoor use. Tiny signs of time present.

Born in Milan and graduated from the Milan Polytechnic in 1945, he developed a style based on simplicity, elegance and functionality, reducing objects to their essential forms without sacrificing beauty and comfort. During his career he collaborated with companies such as Cassina, Artemide and Oluce, creating iconic pieces such as the Atollo lamp, the Carimate chair and the Maralunga sofa, which have become symbols of Italian design. He received numerous awards, including multiple Compasso d'Oro, and his works are exhibited in prestigious museums such as the MoMA in New York. His legacy lies in his ability to combine innovation and traditional craftsmanship, influencing generations of designers through his work and teaching.
