Chair designed by Giancarlo Piretti for Anonima Castelli, 1967.

Plia transformed the idea of the folding chair with an exceptionally compact folding system and a visual lightness that was strikingly new when it was designed in the late 1960s. Now an icon of Italian design, it brings together technical innovation and timeless elegance through its chromed or painted steel frame, available in a range of colours, and its clear or tinted polycarbonate seat and backrest.

Design: 1967
