Plis Chair 2019-2020


Designers: Favaretto&Partners, Padova (PD), Italy
Manufacturer: Zhejiang Sunon Furniture Manufacture Co., Ltd., Hangzhou, Zhejiang, China


Plis is an iconic chair with a fan-shaped design. In fact, Plis gets inspiration from the sinuous movement of the classic folding fan. It is a polypropylene monoblock chair, with a simple and clean outline with a cut on the backrest that recalls immediately a scene that a folding fan is gently closing.

This vertical cut creates several folds on the back surface of the back, giving a dynamic and elegant appeal, but also offers the back flexibility for more comfort. These fluid folds are also stimulated by the gesture of pleating of a fabric, like a soft skirt, for instance.

It is not only a chair; it is an iconic product that can transform the space where it is placed, thanks to its originality. Plis is perfect for both contract and home environments.
