His 1969 Plia chair was an engineering breakthrough: a three-disc hinge that pinned the seat, back and leg frames together so they collapsed into a profile barely thicker than two stacked plates. The design won the Compasso d'Oro in 1971 and entered the permanent collections of the Museum of Modern Art in New York and the Victoria \u0026amp; Albert Museum in London. The Plona stool extends that vocabulary to counter height with the same hinge and the signature acrylic-and-chrome material pairing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eMaterials \u0026amp; Craftsmanship\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOur reproduction stays true to Piretti's original specification:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeat and back:\u003c\/strong\u003e single-piece molded acrylic, available in six colorways from translucent amber to solid off-white.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFrame:\u003c\/strong\u003e chrome-plated tubular steel, 2 mm wall thickness, polished to a mirror finish.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHinge:\u003c\/strong\u003e the signature three-disc folding mechanism — two outer discs sandwich a central disc that locks the legs, seat and back into one pivot point.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFloor protection:\u003c\/strong\u003e molded caps on each leg foot to protect wood and tile floors.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach stool is inspected for finish, hinge alignment and acrylic clarity before shipping.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n  \u003ctbody\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eQuantity\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSet of 2\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSeat height\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e18.5\" \/ 47 cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eWidth\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e21.7\" \/ 55 cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDepth (unfolded)\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e17.3\" \/ 44 cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eFolded thickness\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eApproximately 4.3\" \/ 11 cm — flat enough to slide behind a sofa or into a closet\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003ePackage dimensions\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e22\"W × 25.2\"L × 4.3\"H\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eFrame\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eChrome-plated tubular steel (2 mm wall)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSeat material\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMolded acrylic\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eColor options\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAmber Translucent (TEA), Crystal Clear (TPS), Emerald Green (GRN), Smoke Grey Translucent (SMK), Transparent Blue (BLU), Off-White (WHT)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eAssembly\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNone — ships fully assembled and ready to unfold\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003ePackage contents\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2 folding stools, product care manual\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eCare \u0026amp; Assembly\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo assembly is required.

Polish the chrome frame with a dry microfiber cloth; for fingerprints, a small amount of chrome cleaner applied to the cloth (never sprayed directly onto the frame) keeps the finish bright.

Treated like a lens — soft cloth, mild soap, no solvents — the seat stays clear and glossy.

The space-saving move is to collapse them flat and lean them against a wall or hang them on a coat hook.

Closed, the chair is only about 5 cm (2 in) thick — twelve of them stack flat against a wall.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe original Plia is held in the permanent collections of MoMA in New York and the V\u0026amp;A in London.

Sold as a single chair for small kitchens, studio apartments, and work-from-home spaces that need one extra seat without one extra footprint.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eAbout Giancarlo Piretti\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGiancarlo Piretti (b. 1940) joined Anonima Castelli in Bologna in 1960 and spent two decades reshaping how Italians sat, folded, and stored furniture. The Plia chair, released in 1969, was his breakthrough: a deceptively simple folding chair built around a patented three-disc aluminum hinge that locks the seat, back, and frame on a single pivot. When folded, the whole chair compresses to just over two inches thick.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlia earned the Compasso d'Oro recognition in 1971 and entered the permanent collections of the Museum of Modern Art and the Louvre. Piretti went on to design the Plona and the office-staple Vertebra — but Plia, with more than four million units produced, remains his signature work and one of the 20th century's most recognized folding chairs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eMaterials \u0026amp; Craftsmanship\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOur reproduction is true to Piretti's original specification:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeat and backrest:\u003c\/strong\u003e single-piece molded acrylic (PET), shaped for natural lumbar support and offered in solid or transparent colorways.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFrame:\u003c\/strong\u003e chrome-plated tubular steel (21 mm × 11 mm × 1.8 mm wall), polished to a mirror finish that catches light through the translucent seat.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHinge:\u003c\/strong\u003e the signature three-disc pivot — three flat aluminum discs that nest together so the seat, back, and legs collapse along one axis.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFeet:\u003c\/strong\u003e protective glides to prevent scratching on wood, tile, or polished concrete floors.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe acrylic is solvent-bonded to the frame — nothing to loosen over time.

Avoid ammonia-based glass cleaners and abrasive sponges — both can cloud the surface, especially on the Clear and Amber variants.

Keep out of prolonged direct sunlight to preserve color depth on the solid finishes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs one chair enough for dining, or do I need a set?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA single Plia works as a primary seat at a studio kitchen table, a desk chair for a small home office, or a folded extra that lives behind a door until guests arrive. For regular two-plus dinners, see the Plia set of 12 listing — but for solo or two-person households, one chair is often the right call.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow thin does it actually fold?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAbout 2 inches (5 cm) thick when collapsed — slim enough to slide behind a sofa, under a bed, or hang on a closet hook. The folded silhouette is also the reason Plia became a fixture of European conference rooms and Italian apartments in the 1970s.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWill it support an adult comfortably?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. The chrome tubular frame is rated to roughly 250 lbs (113 kg) of dynamic load, and the contoured acrylic seat is shaped for genuine sitting (not just brief perching). The 17.7-inch seat height pairs well with standard 28–30 inch dining and desk surfaces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow do I clean the transparent acrylic without clouding it?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUse warm water, a drop of mild dish soap, and a soft microfiber cloth — wipe in straight strokes, then dry with a second clean cloth. Avoid ammonia (Windex), alcohol wipes, paper towels, and any abrasive scrubber. For light scratches on the Clear or Amber variants, a dedicated plastic polish like Novus #2 brings the gloss back.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I leave it out as a sculptural piece when I'm not using it?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat's the appeal. Unfolded, Plia reads as a transparent silhouette that almost disappears against a window or pops against a colored wall — especially in the Amber and Clear finishes. Many owners use one as a deliberate object: a sculptural accent that happens to seat someone when needed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eShipping \u0026amp; Returns\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFree US shipping (typically arrives within 2 weeks). 30-day free returns.
