Mid century Red “Cricket” Folding Chairs by Andries Van Onck for Magis, 1983 Italy

A striking “Cricket” folding chair designed by Andries Van Onck and produced by Magis Italy in 1983, created in collaboration with Kazuma Yamaguchi. These iconic chairs are a wonderful example of postmodern Italian design, combining playful geometry with practical functionality.

The design concept behind the Cricket chair is based on the combination of simple geometric forms—a circle, a colored oval, and black orthogonal lines. When folded and unfolded, these elements interact visually to create a sculptural composition that is both artistic and functional.

The chairs feature a painted metal frame combined with durable grey plastic elements, creating a strong contrast with the vibrant red and black color scheme. Their folding construction makes them practical for everyday use while also allowing them to be easily stored.

Designed by Dutch industrial designer Andries Van Onck, who studied at the renowned Hochschule für Gestaltung Ulm under influential designers such as Tomas Maldonado, Walter Zeischegg, and Max Bill, these chairs reflect the experimental design culture of the late 20th century. From 1959 onward, Van Onck lived in Italy, where he collaborated with prominent designers including Ettore Sottsass Jr.

The Cricket chair is considered an important design piece and is included in the permanent collection of the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam, highlighting its significance in modern design history.

These chairs are perfect for collectors of postmodern design, Italian furniture enthusiasts, or anyone looking for unique and functional seating with strong visual impact.
