plico folding trolley
Design Richard Sapper, 1970
Steel colored with epoxy resin, polyurethane
Made by Alessi
Designed by Richard Sapper in the 1970s, the "Plico" trolley is one of the lesser known, though more representative, projects from this unforgettable artist's body of work. Easy to handle and extremely compact when folded, Plico can be used both as a food trolley and as a bed or sofa table. Once folded, the trolley occupies minimal space, allowing it to be placed behind a door or between two pieces of kitchen furniture. The brakes on the rear wheels make the trolley free-standing when closed.
Plico is a folding trolley in steel colored with epoxy resin in black. The shelves are polyurethane.
33.75" L | 30.75" h | 18" w
$1,570.00 + shipping in the continental U.S.

Richard Sapper
Richard Sapper, born in Munich, designs products featuring a combination of technical innovation, simplicity of form, and an element of wit and surprise. He has received numerous international design awards, including 10 prestigious Compasso d'Oro awards and the Raymond Loewy Foundation's Lucky Strike award. His products are part of the permanent collections of many museums around the world, with over 15 represented at New York's MoMA, as well as London's Victoria and Albert and Design Museums. Upon starting his own independent studio in 1959, Sapper designed the Tizio lamp for Artemide, one of the best selling lamps ever produced. In 1978 Alessi commissioned Sapper with the first product in a long series to come, the stove-top espresso maker 9090.
Alessi was founded in 1921 by Giovanni Alessi to produce crafted metal products for eating and drinking. In 1935, Carlo Alessi, son of Giovanni, was named chief designer. In 1945, he ascended to chief executive and designed the coffee service Bombe, an industrial piece manufactured in four sizes. That same year Carlo's younger brother, Ettore Alessi, joined the company as a technician. By the 1980s, Alberto Alessi took over the management of Alessi and launched the Alessi company into the design decade through collaborations with designers such as Philippe Starck and his playful three-legged Juicy Salif citrus squeezer.
