Constructed entirely from durable red ABS plastic, a groundbreaking material of the era, the design is a seamless monobloc. These chairs are New Old Stock, they are effectively unused, a time capsule from the period. This pair has never been out of its original packaging and comes with its authentic, period Kartell cardboard box (Model 4875, made in Italy). One chair is fully assembled, showcasing the smooth, geometric lines and the striking, glossy red finish, while the other is shown disassembled, still partially wrapped, alongside its unsealed components.

Condition: Excellent, flawless original condition. As uncirculated New Old Stock, they retain their original sheen, color saturation, and structural integrity. Both chairs are 100% complete with all original parts. The box, while showing typical storage patina, is a key collectible item itself.

Versatility: The Model 4875 is a true classic of Italian industrial design and an icon of the 1970s "Pop" movement. This uncirculated, NOS status makes them an exceptional collector's item and an irreplaceable addition to a design museum or high-end private collection. While perfect for display, their pristine robustness makes them ready for use in a Parisian mid-century apartment or as unique accent pieces in a minimalist Amsterdam studio. They integrate beautifully with other iconic Italian plastic designs.
