The Plona folding chair, designed by Giancarlo Piretti for Castelli, is an iconic example of Italian design from the Space Age era. This design combines functionality with a striking aesthetic, where the transparent seat and the ingenious folding mechanism immediately catch the eye.
These chairs are crafted with an aluminum frame and a brown-tinted plexiglass seat. The design rests on a sturdy tubular frame that seamlessly transitions into the characteristic hinge points, allowing the chair to be folded easily. The original Castelli labels are still present on the frame, confirming the authenticity of these pieces.
The chairs are in good vintage condition, commensurate with their age and use. They retain their structural integrity and the folding mechanism functions properly. The original finish and character of the materials have been well preserved.
These Plona folding chairs fit perfectly into a modern or eclectic interior. They offer a flexible seating solution that comes into its own at both a dining table and in a seating area, adding a touch of retro charm to any space.
