ETTORE DOOR STOPPER
Designed by Konstantin Grcic 2016
It says a lot about Perazza, founder and head of Magis, that he has chosen the mule as emblem of his company.
At first I was surprised, thinking that I have probably not drawn an animal since my childhood. I did it, and it was fun.I did it, and it was fun.ETTORE turned out a real mule, its legs firmly on the ground, determined and strong. But it is also a beautiful thing, loveable and playful. Just like Magis. Konstantin Grcic.
