How Much is an Italian Plastic Furniture?
Materials: Plastic Furniture
Arguably the world’s most ubiquitous man-made material, plastic has impacted nearly every industry. In contemporary spaces, new and vintage plastic furniture is quite popular and its use pairs well with a range of design styles.
From the Italian lighting artisans at Fontana Arte to venturesome Scandinavian modernists such as Verner Panton, who created groundbreaking interiors as much as he did seating — see his revolutionary Panton chair — to contemporary multidisciplinary artists like Faye Toogood, furniture designers have been pushing the boundaries of plastic forever.
When The Graduate's Mr. McGuire proclaimed, “There’s a great future in plastics,” it was more than a laugh line. The iconic quote is an allusion both to society’s reliance on and its love affair with plastic. Before the material became an integral part of our lives — used in everything from clothing to storage to beauty and beyond — people relied on earthly elements for manufacturing, a process as time-consuming as it was costly.
Soon after American inventor John Wesley Hyatt created celluloid, which could mimic luxury products like tortoiseshell and ivory, production hit fever pitch, and the floodgates opened for others to explore plastic’s full potential. The material altered the history of design — mid-century modern legends Charles and Ray Eames, Joe Colombo and Eero Saarinen regularly experimented with plastics in the development of tables and chairs, and today plastic furnishings and decorative objects are seen as often indoors as they are outside.

- Is Italian furniture worth it?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertOctober 30, 2024Many furniture lovers feel that Italian furniture is worth it. However, not all furniture made in Italy is of equal quality. Many world-renowned furniture makers, such as Kartell, Venini, Cassina, Natuzzi, Fendi, Vistosi and Fabrio Ltd., are based in the country. Still, smaller companies that produce more economical furniture also call Italy home. As a result, it's important to consider materials and construction methods when selecting furniture for your home. Shop a large collection of Italian furniture on 1stDibs.
