The Monobloc chair is a lightweight stackable polypropylene chair, often described as the world's most common plastic chair. Based on original designs by the Italian designer Vico Magistretti in 1967, variants of the one-piece plastic chair went into production with Allibert Group and Grosfillex Group in the 1970s.
