Born in 1920 and deceased in 2006, the designer Vico Magistretti would have been 100 years old in 2020. To celebrate this anniversary, Fritz Hansen is reissuing the Carimate, an essential icon of Italian design. While respecting the original design, the Danish manufacturer brings its Scandinavian sensibility to the armchair. A champion of formal purity, Vico Magistretti never stopped inventing absolute and lasting design. Carimate recounts the great Italian designer's attraction to strong and majestically balanced geometric volumes. Its pure and stripped-down form is enhanced by subtle details. Combining wood and natural straw weaving, the Carimate armchair was created in 1959 by Vico Magistretti for a golf club located in Lombardy. For the sake of sustainability, Fritz Hansen decided to use environmentally friendly materials in this new edition. Our model was published by Cassina in the 1960s. The original model had a straw seat, replaced by a fabric seat on ours, more comfortable and durable and less fragile for daily use. They will bring a lot of charm to your dining room and can be combined with all styles of dining tables: glass top, marble, wood, etc. They present a timeless classic design.
