Giancarlo Piretti for Castelli, Plia Folding Chair
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.

Commute Design Studio
Commute Design Studio is an inter - disciplinary , hands on, boutique design firm that has extensive knowledge of the end user. Commute creates stimulating intelligent, soulful environments and products for designers and clients around the world. “ We decided early in our careers that we did not want to open boxes of specified products for a living - or to be a cookie cutter version of whatever current design obsession was out there. We have always travelled our own path, in the hopes that others would engage. We believe a space should never be dumbed down. We provide environments that you can feel in, and environments with feeling." We are humble and individual in our approach, as we feel that it directly translates to the feeling and soul of a space. We don’t seek the limelight. The space is not about the designer, it is about the end user. This thought process has given us the pleasure of working with like minded clients to create compelling, and thoughtful design and engage locally with makers and craftspeople to carry out our visions ."

- Gibigiana Lamp Achille Castiglioni for Flos, 1980sBy Achille CastiglioniLocated in toronto, CAFlos’s mission was to revolutionize the lighting industry by exploiting new materials, starting with Eisenkeil’s “cocoon floss” polyamide. In the early years of Flos, design was overseen first by Pier Giacomo Castiglioni, followed by his brother Achille and Tobia Scarpa, and then Scarpa’s wife, Afra. The resulting products were intriguingly futuristic looking, such as the Castiglionis’ Viscontea Lamp (1960), Taraxacum Chandelier (1960), and Gato Table Light (1960), as well as the Scarpas’ Fantasma Floor Lamp (1960s).
