Vico Magistretti for Cassina Carimate Dining Chairs in Leather & Dark Wood

This large set of dining chairs belongs to the 'Carimate' line, one of Vico Magistretti’s most well-known furniture series. These chairs have been originally created for the club house of the ‘Carimate Golf Club’ in the Como area, Italy, a place that Magistretti himself designed, dating back to 1959. The chair was specifically designed for the restaurant, made of red aniline-dyed wood and straw, embracing a rustic flavor. Magistretti focused on small yet significant details, such as the anatomical curvature of the backrest and the attachment of the seat to the legs. The present chairs have a patinated cognac leather seat with a wooden beech frame stained in a brown color.
