Vico Magistretti “Carimate” Dining Chairs for Cassina, 1960
The ‘Carimate’ chair is one of Vico Magistretti’s most famous chairs.
These are the original red chairs, but at some point they were painted over in a lime-green white colour.
Red is the original colour designed for the dining chairs of the “Carimate Golf Club” in Como, Italy. The chairs passed through four different manufacturers until Magistretti applied for a patent for the construction in 1963. The ‘Carimate’ chair is inspired by the tradition of simple country furniture, perfecting it. The combination of traditional Italian craftsmanship and modernist design creates a timeless chair.
