Fritz Hansen
Carimate chair



Description

Fritz Hansen's Carimate chair captivates with its personal appearance, where Scandinavian design philosophy meets Italian traditions. Vigo Magistretti designed the Carimate chair in 1959 as part of the interiors for Golf Club Carimate in Italy. Since then, the modern chair has been produced by various manufacturers, but today Carimate is part of Fritz Hansen's collection.

The charm of the Carimate chair lies in its strong, almost box-like nature. The sophisticated silhouette consists of a beech frame and a natural-coloured seat made of paper cord. The combination gives the chair a sturdy yet airy, recognisable look that is as delightful in the dining area as it is in the living room.

Vico Magistretti

The Italian designer Vico Magistretti (1920-2006) had a long career as an architect and furniture designer. Magistretti started studying architecture in Milano in 1939, but had to escape to Switzerland in 1943. In Switzerland he met Ernesto Nathan Rogers, who became Magistretti’s maestro. 

Returning to Milan in 1945 he finished his studies and started working for the architect Paolo Chessa. In the beginning of his career Magistretti worked as an urban planner and started designing furniture and lamps in the 1950s. Many of the objects he designed became museum pieces. During his long and fruitful career he also won several awards like two Compasso D’Oro awards.
