Maxalto - Caratos low swivel stool

Caratos is a family of upholstered seats united by the recognizable structure in die-cast aluminum. The collection also includes stools with swivel seat, able to fit into heterogeneous furnishing contexts thanks to the contemporary lines that nevertheless recall the memory of some furnishings of the twentieth century.

This is a decidedly lightweight proposal, not only for its simple and linear design, but also for its low weight that ensures easy handling. The seat and back use structural panels in plastic on which rests a layer of polyurethane, then covered with fine leather. The stool is available in two different heights: low with height 87cm and high with height 97cm.

Between 1987 and 1996 he was associated with Terry Dwan; together they built buildings in Europe and Japan. In 2000, with Patricia Viel, he founded a design company, active at an international level, which develops complex design programs, at all scales and in synergy with a qualified network of specialist consultancies. The studio has now assumed the name of “Antonio Citterio Patricia Viel”. In the industrial design sector he currently collaborates with Italian and foreign companies such as Ansorg, Arclinea, Axor-Hansgrohe, B&B Italia, Flexform, Flos, Hermès, Iittala, Kartell, Maxalto, Sanitec (Geberit Group), Technogym and Vitra. Another important fact, in 1987 and 1994 Antonio Citterio was awarded the Compasso d'Oro-ADI. Since 2006 he has been teaching architectural design at the Mendrisio Academy of Architecture (Switzerland).

Maxalto is recognised worldwide for its unique way of balancing tradition and innovation, as well as its distinctive and beautiful use of high-quality materials, especially wood, of which Afra and Tobia Scarpa have been the interpreters, making wood the protagonist by designing a series of wooden furniture.Since 1993, the Maxalto collections have been overseen by architect Antonio Citterio, who has continually expanded the product series so that it now incorporates whole living room and bedroom ranges. The home furniture conceived by Afra and Tobia Scarpa quickly established itself as a benchmark of Italian design. A collection of fine wooden furniture completely "made in Italy."
