Castelli Plia wicker folding chairs Giancarlo Piretti, set of 8

This iconic plia folding chair, designed by giancarlo piretti in 1967 for castelli, is a quintessential piece of mid-century modern design. The chair features a lightweight yet durable chrome-plated steel frame, combined with a seat and backrest crafted from woven wicker. This rare variation of the plia chair brings a natural and warm touch to its sleek, modern aesthetic. The chairs are newly webbed, but not in the aestically best way. Also the laquer was redone after weaving, but quite clumsy. One chairs (with white) was tried to take the laquer off, but not so well... So I would say, all sturdy, but also some work to do. All chairs are pictured seperately also, so please take a good look on the pictures. Design: giancarlo piretti, 1967. Manufacturer: castelli, italy.
