A beautiful set of x6 oxblood red Carimate chairs by Vico Magistretti.
Increasingly harder to come across, this set has been restored and sprayed in a glossy oxblood red finish. There have been some repairs to the seats, you may find that some strands of rush are different in colour in the lines where fresh rush is present.
The Carimate chair was born when Vico Magistretti (1920-2006) was conceiving designs for seating at the Carimate golf club in Italy in 1959. The design, which combines traditional Italian craftsmanship and modernist principles has become a classic of understated elegance. This reflects Magistretti background where he and fellow Italian architects aimed to pull the nation into a utopian future after the devastation of World War Two. This approach ultimately led him to hold professorships at the Royal College of Arts in London and the Domus Academy in Milan and his work can be seen in major collections around the world including MoMA, New York and the Victoria & Albert Museum in London.
