Mid-century Plia folding chair by Giancarlo Piretti for Castelli, 1967

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. Designer giancarlo piretti revolutionized the concept of the folding chair with the plia chair, and his study of the "three-disc swivel" is considered a flash of genius. The combination of a steel and polypropylene frame paved the way for the plia chair, which has become a cult object. The chair is preserved in original condition, with minor scratches on the seat and back.
