Early easy chair model Tubo / Tube Chair – Joe Colombo

Lot: 555

Joe Colombo
Early easy chair model Tubo / Tube Chair

Designed in 1969. Early version by Flexorm. Plastic, foam, metal, rubber. 63 x 60 x 110 cm.
This iconic design by Joe Colombo once again shows his practical, but at the same time sculptural, design thinking. The four tubes can be pushed into each other and stored in the smallest of spaces. Compilled in all possible variations, this object always has the appearance of a modern sculpture.

Condition appropriate for its age. The foam is flexible, the surface coating is cracked and two strips on the edge are missing. The rubber balls are hardened and partially broken. The color in the catalog is too dark and a little too light in the additional photos. The actual color is in between.
