Vico Magistretti designed the original  “Carimate” chair model in 1959 for the homonymous golf club in Italy. The chair received exposure in the XII Triennale in 1960 in the section dedicated to rural design and setting. During an interview, Magistretti said that chairs were his favourite furniture to create and went on to design iconic pieces such as this pair. This chair model was a bestseller for years thanks to its mixing of rural simplicity with urban sophistication. From the smooth lines of the wooden supports and legs, to the beautiful beech, these Cassina produced versions of the famous “Carimate” model are rare finds.
