Piana Folding Chair by David Chipperfield



Piana exudes ample amounts of style whilst still managing to be hugely functional, thanks to the tremendous talents of designer, David Chipperfield, for Alessi. Piana exhibits Chipperfield's modernist style and dedication to quality resulting in a folding chair that many have failed to successfully achieve - refined contemporary contours, rigour and precision. Available in a range of bright solid colours, Piana is made from polypropylene reinforced with fibreglass - making it 100% recyclable and suitable for outdoor use! A geometric masterpiece, the design is simplicity in its finest form - something at which Chipperfield excels.

Christmas Redesigned!

With Christmas just around the corner we've a stack of new delights and designs in our stores and online to please even the most awkward of present recipients. Christmas is always a frantic but exciting time at Utility when lots of lovely new stuff comes into our warehouse and the HQ team get to ooh and agh over lots of gorgeous product ranges.

The kitsch but cool snow globes have also been a hit as well as the large Trophy Deer Head. The "Trust Me...Mug" is a good all rounder as there are loads of worthy recipients but at Utility our philosophy is that design is for everyone, regardless of budget, meaning we really do have something for everyone. So come, take browse and have a mooch round all that's new online in our Gift Boutique.
