Price History
Description
At a time when more and more people were starting to work from home for all or part of the day, the Italian designer Vico Magistretti developed the aluminium and polypropylene Silver series of chairs for De Padova. As his inspiration Magistretti took a 1920s chair designed by Marcel Breuer and manufactured by Thonet in Austria. Originally an architecture student, Magistretti turned to product and furniture design in the late 1940s during Italy's post-war drive of reconstruzione. Typically he took an existing object as his starting point and then rethought it by assessing whether it could be improved with the use of modern materials and production processes.
Our Stylist Says
I love the simplicity and modern aesthetic of this chair-its aluminium frame combined with plastic detailing makes it both durable and lightweight, perfect for contemporary dining spaces. It works particularly well in minimalist or industrial interiors, where its clean lines add subtle texture without overwhelming the room. Practical styling tips include pairing it with a sleek glass or wooden table to highlight its understated design, or mixing it with chairs in different textures or colours for an eclectic look. Due to its practical materials, it’s also versatile enough to be used in outdoor dining areas, making it a smart choice for relaxed, casual settings.
