Joe Colombo / Design Museum Collection. In his brief but brilliant career, JOE COLOMBO (1930-1971) produced a series of innovations which made him one of Italy's most influential Italian product designers.
From the Universale, the first chair to be moulded from one material, to the all-in-one Boby Trolley, everything Colombo created was intended for "the environment of the future". When most designers discover that their work was been ripped off, they erupt in understandable fury; not Joe Colombo who would say: "We’ll just have to make it better. " JOE COLOMBO STUDIO.
