Cheers to polypropylene chairs
MANILA, Philippines - You see them everywhere: polypropylene (PP) stacking chairs. They are made by an injection molding process using polypropylene, a lightweight thermoplastic with a high-impact resistance invented by an Italian scientist Giulio Natta in 1954.
The PP chair was designed by Robin Day in 1963 for S. Hille & Co. The original purpose of this chair was intended for low cost mass-produced stacking chair, affordable by all and to meet practically every seating requirement.
