The chair was conceived to fold into an extremely slim profile, optimizing it for portability and storage. Its form also allows it to be hung on a wall, emphasizing its graphic and sculptural qualities beyond mere utility.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The Plaka Chair is recognized as a significant piece in the history of Argentine design. It is held in the permanent collections of both the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York and the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), reflecting its historical and design relevance. Ricardo Blanco\u2019s Plaka Chair\u00a0has been reedited by Holder Objects, an editorial platform, design store, and gallery dedicated to contemporary and collectible Latin American design.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>all images by Najtlix Studio<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wow wow-yellow\">Plaka Chair joins Holder Objects\u2019 curated selection of furniture<\/h2>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Founded by designer Trinidad Davanzo and architect Camilo Palma, Holder Objects <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.holder-objects.com\/\">platform<\/a><\/strong> presents a curated selection of furniture and art-led objects that explore connections between design, geography, and cultural identity within the region. Holder\u2019s approach includes research-based curatorial work focused on uncovering historically important but lesser-known works, an effort referred to as \u2018design archaeology.\u2019 This methodology aims to preserve and reintroduce Latin American design heritage to a wider audience, especially in Europe, fostering cultural dialogue and collaboration.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The Plaka Chair joins Holder\u2019s growing catalog, which also includes pieces such as the Puzzle Chair (1975) by Chilean designer Juan Baixas, another design held in the MoMA collection, alongside works from a range of contemporary Latin American designers. Holder Objects is set to give a talk at 3daysofdesign 2025, representing Latin American design.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>the Plaka Chair, designed by Ricardo Blanco in 1972, emphasizes functionality and compactness<\/p>\n<p>a folding chair reduced to its most minimal profile<\/p>\n<p>clean geometry and foldable structure define its visual character<\/p>\n<p>Holder\u2019s reedition brings renewed attention to Ricardo Blanco\u2019s design<\/p>\n<p>\t<!-- CLOSE ARTICLE CONTENT --><\/p>\n<div class=\"fullwidth-image\">\n<div class=\"layout-box\">\n<div class=\"page-content\">\n<p>designed for portability, stored like artwork<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p>\t<!-- OPEN ARTICLE CONTENT -->\t<\/p>\n<p>a landmark of 20th-century Argentine design<\/p>\n<p>a folding chair that functions as both seat and statement<\/p>\n<p>\t<!-- CLOSE ARTICLE CONTENT --><\/p>\n<div class=\"fullwidth-image\">\n<div class=\"layout-box\">\n<div class=\"page-content\">\n<p>the Plaka Chair reflects a considered approach to material use and movement<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p>\t<!-- OPEN ARTICLE CONTENT -->\t<\/p>\n<p>\t<!-- CLOSE ARTICLE CONTENT --><\/p>\n<div class=\"fullwidth-image\">\n<div class=\"layout-box\">\n<div class=\"page-content\">\n<p>fabrication<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p>\t<!-- OPEN ARTICLE CONTENT -->\t<\/p>\n<p>fabrication<\/p>\n<p>fabrication<\/p>\n<p>fabrication<\/p>\n<p>sketches<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>project info:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>name:<\/strong> Silla Plaka \u2013 Plaka Chair (Slab Chair)<br \/>\n<strong>designer:<\/strong> Ricardo Blanco<\/p>\n<p><strong>furniture company:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.holder-objects.com\/\">Holder Objects<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/holder.objects\/\">@holder.objects<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>photographer &amp; videographer:<\/strong> Najt Lix Studio<\/p>\n<p><strong>concept &amp; research:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.najtlixstudio.com\/\">Najt Lix Studio<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/najtlixstudio\/\">@najtlixstudio<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>director:<\/strong> Mat\u00edas Lix | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/lix_klett\/\">@lix_klett<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>original music:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/apducal.bandcamp.com\/\">Camilo Palma<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/ap_ducal\/\">@ap_ducal<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>special thanks:<\/strong> Ana Scotto, Roberto Busnelli, Guillermo Ferrari, Pablo Diez, <a href=\"https:\/\/fundacionida.org\/\">Fundaci\u00f3n Ida<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/fundacionida\/\">@fundacionida<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.estudioovalle.com\/\">Estudio Ovalle<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/estudioovalle\/\">@estudioovalle<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>designboom has received this project from our\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.designboom.com\/readers-submit\">DIY submissions<\/a>\u00a0feature, where we welcome our readers to submit their own work for publication. see more project submissions from our readers\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.designboom.com\/readers\/\">here.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>edited by: christina vergopoulou | designboom<\/p>\n<p>The post <a href=\"https:\/\/www.designboom.com\/design\/holder-objects-iconic-argentinian-plaka-chair-ricardo-blanco-06-13-2025\/\">holder objects reintroduces iconic argentinian plaka chair by ricardo blanco<\/a> appeared first on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.designboom.com\/\">designboom | architecture &amp; design magazine<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Revisiting a Latin American Classic: Plaka Chair by Ricardo Blanco \u00a0 Originally designed in 1972 by Argentine designer Ricardo Blanco, the Plaka Chair, or Silla Plaka, is a folding chair developed with a strong emphasis &hellip; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[142],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v16.7 -
