About the designer:
The Italian Cesare "Joe" Colombo was born in 1930 and studied painting and architecture in Milan. In the 1950s he was part of the Movimento Nucleare for 4 years and later joined the Art Concret group. Art soon took a back seat and he resolutely opted for a career as a designer. In 1959 he took over the family electrical business and quickly started experimenting with new techniques and technologies. This resulted in own interior projects from 1962 onwards, and in designs for major brands such as Kartell (Chair n°4801 and Chair n°4860), Alessi, Comfort (Elda Armchair), Flexform (Tube Chair) and Boffi.
