Plana Folding Table by Giancarlo Piretti for Castelli

Italian dining game table designed by Giancarlo Piretti for Castelli, circa 1970, featuring a black molded plastic top in four folding and swiveling sections, supported by an aluminum pedestal base, and signed with the original Castelli label.

This table offers a rare combination of iconic design, practical functionality, and collectible value. Its transformable top allows for efficient use of space, making it ideal for apartments or multifunctional rooms. The durable plastic and aluminum construction ensures longevity, while the strong design pedigree adds cultural and investment appeal. As both a conversation piece and a usable table, it enhances interiors with authentic Italian modernist character and timeless style.

Giancarlo Piretti is internationally recognized for his innovative approach to multifunctional furniture and industrial design. Castelli was one of the most influential Italian furniture manufacturers of the postwar period, closely associated with forward-thinking designers and museum-quality production. The folding mechanism is an integral part of the original design concept, making this table not only decorative but also highly practical for modern living spaces where flexibility is valued.
