Founded in the 1950s in Milan, ICF S.p.A. (members of the furniture sector) was one of the pioneering companies in the design and production of offices in Italy. From its institution, ICF has combined the rigor of industrial production with the elegance and typical functionality of Italian design. In the 60s and 70s, the ICF recorded rapid growth thanks to its ability to interpret cultural and organizational change in the workplace. Unlike many competitors, the company has chosen a modular and functional approach, investing in a technical and stylistic design. This is highlighted by interparate wall units, brick system partition systems and a wide range of operating seats, including the support model, made under license of the United Kingdom. In the same years, ICF has collaborated with the main Italian and foreign designers and produced under license some of the most iconic chairs of modernism, such as the aluminum chairs of Charles & Ray Eames, for which he held the exclusive license for Italy before moving to the Vitra. Today ICF is still active in the professional furniture market, based in the vineyards (MI), maintaining an identity that combines the tradition of production, innovation and quality construction. Its historical products, in particular its vintage office chairs, are now highly sought after in the modern antiques and collectible design market.
