Born in 1960, the Carimate chair has had a long history that continues nowadays. Fours producers, just as many versions and revisions, but only one creator. This is the result of the aesthetic and genius of Vico Magistretti filled with simple lines and the innovation of functionality. During an interview, the representative of Italian design said that chairs were his favorite furniture to create.
