Anonima Castelli - Giancarlo Piretti - Folding chair - Plia - Polycarbonate

Splendid chair named "Plia" (first version) designed by Giancarlo Piretti for Anonima Castelli in the 1960s. Giancarlo Piretti, considered by critics "the Thonet of the 20th century," revolutionized the concept of the folding chair; the three-disk pivot joint is brilliant. The combination of chromed steel and polypropylene seat/backrest paved the way for the Plia chair's success, still exhibited in the design sector at MoMA in New York. Anonima Castelli, a historic Italian company founded in 1877 in Bologna, is synonymous with style and high quality, an icon of Made in Italy. The chairs are generally in good condition, inevitably showing some small signs of age, as they are everyday-use objects (over 50 years old). The plastic (original) shows no cracks. This chair is ideal for refined environments, both indoors and outdoors, giving an elegant touch to your home as well as to your studio. An interesting space-saving solution. It will be packed with extreme care and shipped with trackable delivery.
