ABOUT ... Joe Colombo (1930-1971)
He studied painting at the Academy of Fine Arts in Brera then architecture at the Polytechnic in Milan. He began his career as a painter and member of the Movimento Nucleare. Following the death of his father in 1959, he took over the reins of the family business and began a career as a designer. Three years later, he founded his own design agency. He is interested in everyday furniture and the functions to which they aspire: modularity and flexibility. To this he adds his “anti-design” vision: design must take precedence over architectural lines. He then developed a futuristic style that quickly seduced. He receives awards such as the Compasso d'Oro. Colombo has deeply marked the history of design.
