Originally created for the Carimate Golf Club near Milan, the design perfectly balances sculptural simplicity, comfort, and everyday functionality, qualities that have made it a lasting classic of twentieth-century furniture design.
This pair is crafted in solid beech and has been professionally refinished in a soft salmon pink lacquer, giving the chairs a fresh contemporary character while respecting their timeless silhouette. The seats have been newly upholstered in a high-quality blue striped fabric, creating a striking contrast that enhances the architectural lines of the frame.
The distinctive curved armrests, rounded legs, and gently shaped backrest demonstrate Magistretti's remarkable ability to combine elegance with practicality. Comfortable enough for everyday dining yet sculptural enough to serve as accent chairs, the Carimate remains one of Italy's most celebrated chair designs.
Both chairs are presented in excellent restored condition and are ready for use. An iconic pair that works beautifully in both modern and eclectic interiors. I have official proof of authenticity such as vintage catalogs,
