vintage “Plia” Chair with Vienna Straw/ Cane by Piretti, Italy 1960s

An iconic Plia folding chair designed by Giancarlo Piretti for Anonima Castelli in the late 1960s, one of the most celebrated examples of Italian Modernist design. This vintage version features the classic chrome-plated tubular steel frame paired with Vienna straw (cane) seat and backrest, offering a beautiful balance of lightness, transparency, and craftsmanship. The folding mechanism, revolutionary at the time, combines functionality and elegance in a timeless form that remains relevant today. Its sculptural silhouette, refined materials, and easy versatility make it a perfect choice for both living spaces and studios, as well as collectors of Italian design classics. Condition Report. Very good vintage condition. Some scratches on the chrome frame, most professionally touched up and now barely visible. Cane seat and backrest in very good and stable condition. Folding mechanism works smoothly.
