The armchair honours Vico Magistretti who designed the original red Carimate in 1959 for the golf club Carimate in Italy. The details make this anniversary edition by Fritz Hansen truly special. The flag line seat is inspired by the original straw seat, honouring the original aesthetic, without risking the organic decay associated with natural straw. Fritz Hansen has used European, GMOfree flax for the flag lin. 110 meters are woven by hand to create the beautiful, organic seat.
Small changes to the seat height and backrest design have been made for comfort. And the chair is available in red and black lacquer to honour earlier versions of the design.
Every chair is individually numbered for authenticity and longevity. A brass plaque under each seat marks its unique number.
