Giancarlo Piretti for Castelli 'Plia' Folding Chair in Yellow, c. 1970
Description
Designed by Giancarlo Piretti for Anonima Castelli in 1967, the Plia was the first chair to fold completely flat, using a three-disc hinge mechanism. It's held in MoMA's permanent collection.
This example has a transparent yellow Cellidor seat and backrest on a chrome frame.
Original vintage condition. The acrylic remains vibrant, with minor scuffing typical of vintage examples. The chrome shows age-appropriate wear. The folding mechanism operates smoothly.
Height 75 cm, width 47 cm, depth 50 cm, seat height 44 cm.
