About the Item

The symbol of a new era focused on plastic: this is how the 1967 plia chair was received when it was published at the Milan Furniture Fair. . With the Plia folding chair, the designer Giancarlo Piretti revolutionized the concept of a folding chair with his study on the "3-disk pivot". It is considered a stroke of genius and the combination of a steel and polypropylene frame has paved the way for the Plia chair to become a cult object.
