“The Symbol of a new era focused on plastic”. That’s how Plia chair was presented in 1967 at the Fiera del Mobile in Milan. During the Fair, the Plia got so much acclaim from audiences that many visitors moved away from the stand with some samples without asking for permission… As a result of this unhorthodox compliment the chairs were tied with chains for safety. With the Plia chair the designer, Giancarlo Piretti, has revolutionized the concept of folding chair, and his study on the “three-disc hinge” is considered a stroke of genius. The combination of steel and polypropylene frame has paved the way for Plia which has become a cult object. Plia represents the realization of “democratic design” and it is nowadays exposed at the design sector of the MoMA in New York. Thanks to this chair, which millions of copies have been sold, Giancarlo Piretti,

The chair, inspired by a model from 1930 by Josef Hoffmann, blends his interest in Art Nouveau and simple shapes with manufacturing processes applied in Bystrice pod Hostynem since 1861. The armchair is therefore more geometrical, but bears the clear features of the manual bending technique of TON.
The Pikaia chair is designed to support the back fully. The curve of the backrest easily and comfortably follows the natural curve of the spine. The polyurethane shell, however, also allows for flexibility letting you lean back slightly. Like the human body is constantly in motion, the chair moves with it in a natural and […]
