Red lucite folding chair by G. Piretti for Castelli Italy

This famous Italian folding chair from the 1960s, made of Lucite and red lacquered aluminium, was designed in 1967 by Giancarlo Piretti for Anonima Castelli in Italy. The Plia folding chair is a true design classic, having won several awards and also being part of the MoMA collection. Its fantastic folding mechanism allows the chair to fold very flat, making it easy to store. The chair is marked by the manufacturer on the back. It is in very good condition with some signs of use due to age.
