Product Details
The Plia Chair is a classic Italian design created by Giancarlo Piretti in 1967. The chair's name, "Plia," is derived from the Italian word "piegare," which means "to fold," and refers to the chair's signature feature: its ability to fold completely flat. The Plia Chair is a lightweight and versatile piece of furniture that is popular for both residential and commercial use. Its frame is made of chromed steel, and the seat and backrest are constructed from transparent or colored polycarbonate. The chair's minimalist design and unique folding mechanism have made it an enduring icon of Italian design, and it continues to be produced and sold today.
