Like many of Vico Magistretti's great projects, the famous Silver chair he designed for De Padova is above all a tribute to tradition. In fact, it takes up the forms of the 811 chair by Thonet, dating back to 1925, but updating it to the use of modern materials and the new forms of contemporary living. While the original had a curved wooden structure and a Vienna straw seat, Magistretti's Silver opted for an aluminum structure and a polypropylene seat, whose grid design was inspired by the designer's weaving of a basket for the eggs. With a technical and practical but not excessively cold look, the Silver chair by De Padova can be used equally effectively in both office and domestic environments, adapting it to the most varied needs thanks to the numerous variants available: the seat can be with or without armrests, while the base can be made in a swivel version with wheels.

Milan has for years been considered the capital of international design, capable of catalyzing new ideas from all over Italy and from all over the world thanks to the most different inspirations. For generations, however, there has been a real Milanese design with a strong connotation, and De Padova is its undisputed symbol and spearhead. The environments proposed by De Padova are fresh and airy, dominated by light colors and large proportions. An unmistakable form of discreet luxury, in line with the character of the city, which finds its basis in the rigor of the design quality and in the use of fine materials. De Padova furniture and sofas bear the mark of a history of over seventy years and the personality of its brilliant founder, Maddalena De Padova, defined as the "lady of design".Read more
Designed by
Vico Magistretti
Vico Magistretti (1920-2006), son of the architect Pier Giulio Magistretti and a pupil of Gio Ponti, is one of the great protagonists of the adventurous period of post-World War II Italian design. He began his career as an architect in his father's studio, contributing to some of the key projects for the reconstruction of Milan after the war such as the QT8 district or the Torre al Parco in via Revere and actively participating in the cultural debate of the time. The growing interest in the architecture of the house led him to become more and more interested in design, a field in which, starting from the 1960s, he will give his best. His projects, effective and functional, always revolve around a strong idea developed with grace and consistency. He forged a lasting collaboration with Cassina, contributed to the creation of lamps that entered the collective imagination with brands such as Artemide and Oluce, designed for Flou the most famous bed in the history of Italian design (the Nathalie model, still a great success today), and obtained great successes with brands such as Kartell, Gavina, Campeggi and Fritz Hansen. In the last years of his career he also forged a close partnership with Maddalena De Padova, for whose brand he created some of his best projects.Read more
