Product description
The Elda chair, designed by Italian designer Joe Colombo in 1963, is an icon of twentieth-century design. Revolutionary at the time of its creation, it introduces the innovative use of fiberglass in furniture, breaking with the traditional conventions of wood for a more contemporary aesthetic. Joe Colombo was an Italian designer renowned for combining pop aesthetics and high-tech materials with a total or environmental attitude towards design. Colombo foresaw that the profound impact of technology on society would increasingly allow people to retreat into the private spaces of their own homes. More relevant today than in the 1960s, his vision of a modern networked lifestyle was supported by furniture such as the Elda armchair, whose cocoon seat and swivel base created an ideal throne for the new citizen, connected to the world via television, telephone and other communication media. The black fiberglass shell, swiveling 360 degrees, provides a striking contrast to the cognac leather cushions. The generously padded and distinctively tufted cushions ensure optimum comfort while enveloping the user in a cocoon of luxury.
