Toga Chair (1968) by Sergio Mazza

The “Toga” chair, which can be stacked and is made of a single material and shape, was first shown at the Milan International Furniture Exhibition in 1969 to great acclaim. It was made of fibreglass-reinforced polyester that was compressed and moulded. The chair, which is no longer made, was first made in orange and white, and later in red and black.
