ICF De Padova
Fernando and Maddalena De Padova began their entrepreneurial activity by importing Scandinavian furniture and objects sold in the showroom in via Montenapoleone in Milan in the 1950s. For the first time, Northern European design arrives in Italy.
60's. During a trip to Basel, Maddalena De Padova accidentally discovers the Wire Chair by Charles Eames. Within a few months, Maddalena met the American company Herman Miller from which she obtained the production license for Italy of the products designed by Charles Eames and George Nelson. ICF De Padova is founded, with headquarters in Vimodrone, which will produce Herman Miller office furniture in Italy. From this meeting Maddalena De Padova absorbs the secrets that will constitute the heart of her philosophy: the importance of the environmental context from George Nelson, the "connections" from Charles Eames, the role of objects from Alexander Girard. The large showroom in Corso Venezia in Milan is inaugurated
70's. After Fernando's death, Maddalena De Padova personally takes care of the company, supervising its production and distribution activities. Vico Magistretti began his long collaboration with the company in recent years by designing a collection of office furniture.
80s. De Padova sells the ICF brand with the production license from Herman Miller and creates a line of furniture and objects under the De Padova brand. “Edizioni De Padova” was born, which would later become “è De Padova”. Other great designers collaborate, such as Achille Castiglioni and Dieter Rams, but above all Vico Magistretti. The showroom in Corso Venezia is a wide-open eye on distant worlds: that of the Shakers represents its pinnacle.
