The Project by Antonio Citterio
Antonio Citterio is the art director of Maxalto and designed Caratos starting from a lightweight, exposed structure: the aluminum casting supports an upholstered seat covered in fabric or leather. In his words:
«Caratos is an absolutely contemporary product, yet it evokes certain 20th-century objects, capable of recalling the idea of bronze through a "full" matte finish that absorbs light. Furthermore, the high quality of the leather upholstery recalls the idea of saddlery.»
- Antonio Citterio
Fabric or Leather: What Changes
Both upholsteries are fixed; the fabric version requires the intervention of specialized personnel for removal, while the leather version is non-removable. Choice thus impacts daily management and maintenance, as well as aesthetics. Whether it is a dining room intended for daily, intensive use or a living area designed for more measured events, requirements vary based on dirt resistance, Martindale rating, and tones. Contact us: we will evaluate together the upholstery and finish best suited to your needs.

Maxalto Caratos FAQ
Model, finish, availability, and delivery: everything before you decide.
How many chairs are ready for delivery, can I complete the set?
Ready for delivery we have two Caratos CAR65 chairs in Deluxe Diana Corda fabric, with a bronzed nickel structure. For a larger set, we can order additional chairs with the same or different upholstery: write to us with how many you need and we will confirm availability and production times.
Is the chair removable or washable?
The fabric upholstery is non-removable with difficulty and requires the assistance of specialized personnel; the leather one is non-removable. For routine cleaning, simply dust with a soft, dry cloth; for stains or deeper maintenance, we will provide the appropriate maintenance instructions for your chosen upholstery upon ordering.
What finishes does the structure have?
The die-cast aluminum structure is painted in three finishes: graphite, amber, or bronzed nickel. The ready-to-ship chairs feature the bronzed nickel finish.
Does the Caratos collection include other elements besides chairs?
Yes, Caratos includes chairs with and without armrests, small armchairs, armchairs, swivel stools, ottomans, benches, and matching small tables. All share the die-cast aluminum structure and Citterio's formal language. Contact us for a quote on a coordinated supply.
Do you ship outside your local area?
