“It was in the 1950s that Magistretti's skill as a designer was unleashed. Working with the craftsmen and entrepreneurs who had long produced furniture in an area to the north of Milan, Magistretti saw possibilities for a new series of well-designed, mass-produced goods. His first great success came with the world famous Carimate chair produced by the Cassina company, headed by Cesare Cassina. The chair was a bestseller for years and mixed rural simplicity (the straw of the seat) with urban sophistication. There were the smooth lines of the wooden supports and legs, the colour and elements of Scandinavian design.
Magistretti had a close relationship with Cassina and had designed his luxurious villa (1964-65) in the town of Carimate, near Como. The series of beautiful, sleek villas in the Brianza hills around Milan built by Magistretti were later described as "Palladio in Brianza".
NB:
Made to order items in premium fabrics cannot be returned or refunded unless there are genuine proven defects. We order the fabric and materials to make the piece just for you, in your personal colours and style and therefore once production begins the sale is final. We hold off production for 24h to allow you to cancel if you’ve ordered by mistake or changed your mind after which refunds and exchanges are not possible.

If you are an international customer, please note that the shipping amount shown at checkout is a generic estimate provided by Etsy and does not reflect the actual cost of shipping large items to your specific location.
We ask international customers to contact us before purchasing for an accurate shipping quotation. If this was not done, additional shipping charges are most likely payable. Please contact us for a quote within 24 hours to ensure you're comfortable with the additional cost as once we begin production we cannot cancel your order.
Please note that any additional shipping costs must be paid before your order can be dispatched and you will be sent an Etsy payment link. As all of our upholstered items and carimate chairs are bespoke and made to order (carimates are refurbished and painted in the customer's chosen colours), orders cannot be cancelled or refunded on the basis that final shipping costs are higher than expected or exceed the amount collected by Etsy at checkout.

This means that any import duties, customs charges, VAT, brokerage fees or other taxes imposed by your country are the responsibility of the purchaser and are not included in the purchase price or shipping quote unless expressly agreed otherwise in writing.

We are happy to assist with any customs queries relating to the goods themselves, including materials, timber species and product information, but the purchaser remains responsible for import clearance and payment of any local charges.

If you have any questions at all, please don’t hesitate to get in touch. We look forward to creating your order.
