Joe Colombo (1930-1971) was an Italian designer and architect who is considered one of the most important figures in mid-century modern design. He was known for his innovative and futuristic designs, which often incorporated new materials and manufacturing techniques.

Colombo was born as Cesare Colombo in Milan, in 1930. He studied painting and sculpture at the Brera Academy of Fine Arts, and then architecture at the Milan Polytechnic. After graduating, he worked as a painter and sculptor for several years. In 1959, he began to focus on design, and in 1962, he founded his own design studio in Milan, where he began creating cutting-edge furniture pieces that defied traditional aesthetics. His designs were characterized by their sleek lines, modular structures, and innovative use of materials. He soon became one of the most sought-after designers in Italy.

Colombo's designs were often inspired by his interest in more... technology and futurism. He was particularly interested in the use of new materials, such as plastic and fiberglass, and new manufacturing techniques, such as injection moulding. He also experimented with new forms and functions, and his designs often challenged traditional notions of furniture design.

Some of Colombo's most famous designs include the Universale sofa (1965), the 4860 armchair (1967), and the Tube chair (1969). These designs are still popular today, and are considered to be classics of mid-century modern design.

Colombo died in 1971, at the age of 40, leaving behind a body of work that is still admired and studied by designers today. He was awarded the Compasso d'Oro, the most prestigious design award in Italy, in 1967 and his work is included in the permanent collections of the Museum of Modern Art in New York City, the Centre Pompidou in Paris, and the Victoria and Albert Museum in London. less...
