Giancarlo Piretti, Platone Folding Desk for Anonima Castelli, 1971
About the Item
One of the most influential Italian designers of the twentieth century, Giancarlo Piretti’s chair designs – for which he is most celebrated – have sold millions worldwide.
Piretti’s most well-known piece is the folding Plia chair. The design was first unveiled at the Fiera del Mobile in Milan in 1967 as ‘The symbol of a new era focused on plastic’. Its material combinations of a steel and polypropylene frame, ‘three-disc hinge’ and elegant functionality revolutionised the concept of a folding chair. With sales upward of seven million, Plia has garnered a cult popularity and is now recognised as a significant cornerstone of post-war Italian modern design – nowadays enjoying centre stage in MoMA NY’s design department.
The Platone desk was designed to be presented as a set with the Plia chair. It is also held in the permanent collection of the MoMa in NYC.
This model remains in great vintage condition, consistent with age and use.
