About the Item
This is a Torsion stacking side chair, designed by Giancarlo Piretti for Krueger Intl. The listed price includes one chair, and we have several available for purchase. Their design includes a padded upholstered seat and back retaining the original red fabric, and they have a black tubular steel frame. They easily stack on top of one another to save space whilst not in use.
Each chair measures 19.5 inches deep, 19.5 inches wide, and 32 inches high. They have a seat height of 17.5 inches. These chairs have myriad scratches and scrapes on the bases from stacking. Their fabric has some light spots but is still vibrant. There are some small pinhole punctures in the fabric on some of the chairs when looking closely. Overall, these chairs are in very good original condition with some wear apparent. Please see photos.

Black Torsion Chairs by Giancarlo Piretti for Ki Set of Eight
By Giancarlo Piretti, KI Krueger International
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.
