Monobloc (chair)
The Monobloc chair is a lightweight stackable polypropylene chair, often described as the world's most common.
Based on original designs by the Italian designer Vico Magistretti in 1967, variants of the one-piece plastic chair went into production with Allibert Group and Grossfillex Group in the 1970s. Since then, millions have been manufactured in countries including Russia, Taiwan, Australia, Mexico, the United States, Italy, France, Germany, Morocco, Turkey, Israel and China.
The Monobloc chair is named because it is formed from a single piece of polypropylene, heated to 220 centigrade and extruded into a mold. The chairs cost approximately $3, making them affordable in all parts of the world.
