A modern chair made of soft-touch polypropylene - Colico

Contemporary, minimalist, and rigorous design. Thanks to its essential and harmonious lines, the Go! chair was created to meet many needs and become an ideal product for any home or collective environment. The use of recyclable plastic, highly durable and efficient, allows the product to be used both indoors and outdoors.

Possible micro-cracks, streaks, or small air bubbles are inherent features of the injection molding process used to produce the chair, and therefore will not be considered manufacturing defects.

Subtle design combined with incredible projects gives the Colico brand its synonym. This is a nod to true craftsmanship, multi-generational manufacturing, and details that ultimately influence the style of the finished products. A major advantage of these elegant chairs is the wide range of colors and combinations available, so you can create your dream design for your interior.

A bit of brand history

It is 1920, and in Brianza, a land with a peasant tradition near Milan, the first design and carpentry schools are born, and artisan furniture shops are gaining strength. This is where the company's story begins. A family story that starts with Andrea Colico and his passion for chairs, which he produces in a small courtyard in the town of Cabiate.

1950s

After difficult post-war years, Antonio, Andrea's son, feels the first breath of change. Aware of the growing attention of the bourgeoisie to the value of home and related goods, their refined taste, and the ongoing process of urbanization, he decides to move himself and his family to Varedo, close to what is becoming one of Europe's most important cities: Milan.

1960s

These are the golden years for furniture. Chair production, deeply rooted in the territory where it operates, draws on tradition, taste, and a strong sense of belonging. But for Antonio, this is not enough; he is a cautious entrepreneur who seizes the opportunity brought by the development of a new district in the heart of Friuli Venezia Giulia and begins to differentiate between semi-finished products purchased in the Udine province and the processing continued in his laboratory in Brianza.

1970s

Antonio Colico continues to grow and develop. These are flourishing years of economic growth, where work is seen as a social value. At this historic moment, Antonio decides to open a manufacturing plant in Friuli, a region increasingly specialized in wood processing for chair production. However, the head and heart of the brand remain in Brianza, where Antonio's wife and his most loyal collaborators continue working on coatings and finishes, focusing on quality and attention to detail, which the company is known for. The commercial structure also began to take shape with the company's participation in its first Salone Internazionale del Mobile in 1970, an event to which the Colico family would dedicate the next 50 years.

1980s

The third significant phase in the Colico family's entrepreneurial history began in the 1980s. Young Walter, Antonio and Maria's eldest son, supports his father in managing the company. Thanks to design studies abroad, Walter opens the doors of the family business to design and international markets, inspired by and targeting these markets. The new company was founded in 1982 under the name Colico Design.

1990s

A decade after the new company's founding, Walter's younger brother Diego joins. Alongside their father Antonio and an increasingly consolidated family team of collaborators, the company develops and strengthens its presence on international markets, also through participation in trade fairs. These are years of experimentation, initial hesitation in using colors, but also a focus on lines that Walter deeply desired—becoming more and more a creative force within the company thanks to his talent for beautiful, eccentric, and experimental objects.

Year 2000

2010

Walter, together with his childhood friend, now renowned architect Kicco Bestetti, created a cult product: the Milano 2015 chair. In this project, he poured his heart into it: love for his city and joy as a guest of Expo 2015, passion for color and new technologies, classic lines, as well as memories and emotions of form, with which he had been closely connected since childhood. It was an immediate success that continues to this day and has placed Milano 2015 at the center of several projects, including Design for Charity held in the magnificent setting of the Triennale building in April 2011, featuring artists of the caliber of Karima Rashid, Piero Lissoni, Elio Fiorucci, and Patricia Urquiola.

2015

Walter’s path of discovery and introspection led to 2015, a year that marked a return to the beginnings through a new collection where wood and upholstery take center stage, culminating in the creation of a new logo. A logo that places family, roots, and blood ties at its core, but also the people who contributed to shaping the history and tradition of this company, which is celebrating a century of history. It also reflects a concern for the new, a desire to propose different products, a willingness to engage, and a question: what is an unconventional design?

2020

Today, the Colico brand celebrates its 100th anniversary. 100 years lived by a family passing down their knowledge from hand to hand. A company committed to growth, maintaining a family dimension, while combining its business and life with that of every individual who develops and lives within it.
