The white metal structure pairs amazingly with the pink lucite, making this versatile folding chair extremely elegant and perfect for a Mid-Century Modern style project. PLIA, the symbol of a new era focused on plastic: This is how the plia chair from 1967 was welcomed when it was presented at the Salone del Mobile in Milan. At the fair, the session was so popular that many visitors walked away from the stand taking samples without even asking for permission \. following this unorthodox compliment, the chairs were tied with a chain for safety. The "Plia" folding chair is a true design classic as it has won numerous awards and is also part of the MoMA collection. The "Plia" chair has a fantastic folding mechanism which allows the chair to be folded very flat so that it can be stored easily.
