Set of four Carimate Chairs by Vico Magistretti for Cassina, Italy 1970s

Description

An enduring icon of Italian modernism, this set of four Carimate chairs was designed by Vico Magistretti for Cassina. Originally conceived in 1959 for the dining hall of the Carimate Golf Club, the design captures the warmth and understated elegance of post-war Italian design. Made from solid wood with beautifully shaped armrests and a rich, warm patina, the chairs highlight the clarity and strength of Magistretti’s vision.

The handwoven rush seats add a natural texture and comfortable support, offering a refined contrast to the architectural frame. Known for its balance between tradition and modernity, the Carimate chair draws from vernacular influences while maintaining clean, modern lines. This set from the 1970s fits effortlessly in a range of interiors, from dining spaces to offices, or as sculptural standalone pieces. The chairs are in good vintage condition with some visible signs of wear consistent with age. The frames are solid and stable, and the rush seats show light, even wear that adds to their character. The listed price is for the set of 4 pieces. Measurements: H 74 x W 59 x D 49 x SH 44 cm
