Black Torsion Chairs by Giancarlo Piretti for Ki Set of Eight
By KI Krueger International, Giancarlo Piretti
Located in Topeka, KS
Excellent set of eight black Torsion dining chairs designed by Giancarlo Piretti for KI. There are seven arm chairs and one side chair. They are in wonderful vintage condition with minor wear that you would expect with age. Please see photos, circa 1995. In 1997 Giancarlo Piretti received an award for his Torsion seating collection. These chairs are part of that collection. Designed and made initially and primarily for commercial purpose they are extremely comfortable and flexible. They are lightweight and stackable. This set has an attractive textured high impact black plastic seat, back, and arms on chrome legs. No one expects this chair have the comfort it provides. The back flexes. This flex is achieved with the torsion mechanism which creates gradually increasing resistance. They were designed for comfort during long meetings or lectures. But, that makes them perfect for long dinners with lots of conversation. Or, family night with puzzles, cards, and games. The designer, Giancarlo Piretti, was born in Bologna Italy in 1940. He attended art schools there and subsequently taught Interior Design. During that time, he was also designing furniture for Anonima Castelli. He has won numerous awards and has items in many museums including MoMA New York. He still lives and works in Bologna with is son, designer Alessandro Piretti.

Coat Hanger and Ladder "Dilemma" Design Giancarlo Piretti for Castilia, 198
By Giancarlo Piretti
Located in taranto, IT
We knew that gian carlo piretti was a genius, the plia and plona chairs, above all, are an immortal example of design, but few knew that it could be surpassed ... now you know it too, looking at the photos of this very rare heirloom, the "dilemma" coat rack, designed for the newborn (... at the time) Castilia: an object that, in the blink of an eye, turns into a staircase with five steps, very useful in every home and office, and just as quickly it closes on itself and rests on the base Brilliant !!! Coming out of its base, the coat hanger transforms into a compass ladder with three uprights - equipped with solid steps in die-cast aluminum - which, if necessary and once repositioned in its base, returns to being a coat hanger. Almost 2 meters high, more than good condition, expertly reproduced pair of hooks...
