Set of 4 vintage chairs style Plia Italy 1970

Chair style Plia. The chair is the modern version of the traditional wooden folding chair, but this one has a polished aluminum frame and a smoked transparent molded Plexiglas seat and backrest, which opens easily with an efficient mechanism. When closed, each chair is a compact unit that measures only 4 cm. With rounded corners and edges and intended for indoor and outdoor use, it soon became popular due to its light weight and flexibility. In the economic and pop culture context of the late 1960s, the chair reflects the industry's move toward a youthful, anti-materialistic social attitude and the avant-garde's preference for inexpensive, unpretentious design. This set is in good original condition, with some signs of rust in the chrome and some light scratches in the plastic.
