Joe Colombo Elda Lounge Chair


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. Elda was the first large chair to utilize a self-supporting fiberglass frame. Its seven sausage-like cushions, rotating base and generous proportions provide a great deal of comfort. This is one of Colombo’s first furniture designed and named after his wife EldaThe Elda lounge chair is exhibited at the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York and the Louvre in Paris.
This Chairs structure is beyond brillant if you ask me.I swear i want this to be the first piece of furniture in the future.
