The Plastic Chair Sandblasted Cast Aluminum Chair. The classic molded, stackable plastic chair, widely produced in Greece from the 1970s to the 1990s, reimagined by Leda Athanasopoulou.
The Plastic Chair has been cast in aluminum using sand casting, produced in six separate parts, then assembled, treated, and sandblasted: a process that reveals joints and imperfections while opening the pores of the aluminum, allowing aging and surface transformation to occur beyond control. Left unsealed, the material is allowed to evolve naturally over time.
The original chair was discovered in a house under Leda’s restoration on Kastellorizo, produced by an unknown manufacturer and labelled “Mykonos” — reflecting a common branding strategy in Greece, where mass-produced objects were often given aspirational, place-based names for commercial appeal.
