Multichair by Joe Colombo
The Multichair, designed by Joe Colombo, perfectly embodies the maximum cross-disciplinarity theme, demonstrating how the multi-faceted combination of two cushions can develop into diverse seating systems designed to accommodate the various positions of the human body. Hyper-transformable and multi-functional, Multichair comfortably adapts to the most varied ambiances, becoming a simple chair, conversation chair, or one to relax. It is quirky and well-balanced, with its dual soul, serious and pop, and it is a perfect combination for unconventional or formal contexts.
It was 1970 when Joe Colombo developed two furnishing projects destined to become timeless icons of Italian design - the Boby Trolley Storage unit and the Multichair.Ā Prolific and innovative, the Milanese designer intended to conjugate aesthetics and functionality, creating products that would be practical, multi-purpose, movable, and transformable. His concept of modularity, an invention that takes shape according to designated use and contingent requirements, takes the form of direct interaction with the user, a form reflected in the object itself and that gives it meaning. Likewise, daily living spaces, according to his global vision, become flexible: ambiances in which various activities seamlessly coexist.
Multichair is part of the permanent collections of MoMA and the New York Metropolitan Museum of Art.
Made in Italy by B-Line.
Dimensions: H 25 1/4"Ā D 28 1/4"Ā W 23"
Materials: Convertible system consisting of two individual elements that can easily turn into a conversation/relaxation chair. Steel internal structure upholstered in polyurethane foam and fabric. At the edges, the upholstering stretch fabric is glued to keep its shape unaltered, while leather belts, with the help of pins and buckles, keep the elements together.Ā
