In production for Gavina since 1961, Loden is a series featuring an armchair and a sofa with a frame in lacquered wood made with four cylinder-section legs and a tilted seat, also in wood, with curved armrests whose design is similar to the profile of the armrests of the Carimate chairs. The seat and backrest are upholstered in fabric. Dino Gavina, a Bolognese businessman, started producing new furniture in the mid- ?50s by collaborating with well-known designers and put back into production furniture by Breuer, a renowned designer in NY, like the Cesca and Wassilly chairs. The Loden series by Magistretti is part of the collections produced by Gavina in the ?60s.
