Vico Magistretti Carimate Dining Chairs / Pair

Designed by Vico Magistretti for Cassina in 1960, the Carimate was originally created for the Golf Club at Carimate in Como. A sophisticated fusion of Scandinavian influence and Italian craftsmanship / beechwood structure with warm red aniline lacquer, a technique Magistretti borrowed from toy manufacturing to bring a new dimension to furniture. The high slatted back and woven rush seat are immediately distinctive. A genuinely iconic piece of Italian mid-century design.

Sourced from Ken Neale, Sydney. Listed price is for both chairs as a pair.
