About the design
Originally designed in 1959 for the Carimate golf club north of Milan, from which the chair takes its name, Vico Magistretti’s bold and charismatic design became a highly prized collectable piece from the Italian designer’s body of work. A strikingly memorable as well as comfortable chair, the Carimate™ is known for its bold personality and finely detailed construction.
Fritz Hansen is proud to reintroduce Magistretti’s charismatic Carimate in natural Beech and Black Coloured Ash with paper cord seat as a pure and honest expression of the design icon. Perfect for creating a bold and memorable dining setting and a must-have for collectors of Magistretti works.

About the designer
Born into a family of notable Milanese architects, Italian designer Vico Magistretti was rigid in his philosophy: there is no excuse for bad design. Dubbed one of the founding fathers of Italian design, he was widely celebrated for his experimental yet strikingly harmonious work that ranged from sleek, high concept furnishings to elaborate architectural façades.
