An exceptional set of four original Plia chairs, designed by the renowned Italian designer Giancarlo Piretti for Anonima Castelli.
A true icon of 20th-century Italian design, the Plia chair stands out for its elegant chrome-plated tubular metal frame, its translucent plastic seats and backs, and its ingenious folding mechanism.
