plia canè
the symbol of a new era focused on plastic: this is how the 1967 Plia chair was received when it was published at the milan furniture fair. on the occasion of the fair, the session obtained so many public consents, that many visitors left the stand taking samples without even asking for permission ... come the consequence of this unorthodox compliment, the chairs were tied for safety with a chain.
this particular version in Wien straw further enriches the value of this design icon made in Italy.
