Plia by Giancarlo Piretti Transparent

When it was presented at the Milan Furniture Fair in 1967, this chair caused an immediate sensation. The response was so enthusiastic that many visitors reportedly left the stand carrying the display pieces with them. As a result of this unusual compliment, the chairs had to be secured with chains.

With Plia, Giancarlo Piretti redefined the concept of the folding chair through his innovative three disc pivot system. This technical breakthrough, combined with a light and elegant appearance, secured the chair’s place in design history and earned Piretti the nickname Thonet of the 20th century.

This transparent version expresses the design in its purest and most iconic form. The clear seat and backrest enhance the chair’s sense of lightness, while the structure maintains a refined and timeless presence. A true classic of Italian design, Plia brings together innovation, simplicity, and elegance in one instantly recognizable piece.
