Set of 4 Plia Cane Folding Chairs by Giancarlo Piretti

Set of 4 Plia Cané folding chairs, an iconic design by Giancarlo Piretti for Anonima Castelli, a symbol of Italian design from the 1960s and 1970s. The Cané version is one of the most refined interpretations of the Plia chair, where the famous chrome steel frame is combined with a seat and backrest made from Vienna straw framed in wood, creating a perfect balance between technical innovation and artisan tradition. The Plia chair is internationally recognized for its revolutionary three-disc hinge, which allows for compact and practical folding without compromising the clean lines of the design. A masterpiece of engineering applied to furniture design, now part of the permanent collection at the MoMA in New York. The set is overall in excellent condition: the structure is solid and intact, with minor signs of wear consistent with age; the folding mechanism works perfectly; the Vienna straw is taut and free of breaks; the wooden frames have been professionally restored, keeping the original patina. Each chair has the original Anonima Castelli label. Each chair measures 47 cm wide, 47 cm deep, and 76 cm high. Thanks to their versatile style, these chairs are ideal for modern, classic, or mid-century spaces, perfect both as functional seating and as authentic Italian design collector's pieces.
