Vintage black leather armchair by Joe Colombo, 1963

Created in 1963 by Italian artist and productfurniture designer Joe Colombo, the Elda- chair and manufactured for Comfort. A hard shell of fiberglass (one of the first such pieces of furniture to incorporate the material) on the outside protects a soft leathered inside, shaped and contoured into puffy rectangular tubes. While Colombo took his cue for the exterior from the hull of boats, there is something almost organic about the interior upholstery configuration, like intestines. The chair is in original condition. Some color differences and leather age patina on the seating (please see our pictures) the hard fibreglass shell is in a good condition. We ship worldwide.
