Pair of Plia folding chairs by Giancarlo Piretti for Castelli, Italy, 1970s

A pair of iconic Plia folding chairs designed by Giancarlo Piretti for Anonima Castelli in the 1970s. Celebrated for their ingenious folding mechanism and visually lightweight construction, the Plia has become one of the most recognizable icons of Italian design. This pair features elegant chromed steel frames with transparent seats and backrests in a warm smoked brown tint. The subtle coloration gives the chairs a particularly refined appearance while retaining the characteristic transparency and minimalist silhouette of the original design. Practical, foldable and highly decorative, they work equally well as everyday seating or as collectible design pieces. Condition Very good vintage condition, with minor signs of wear consistent with age and use.
