More about...

  • The piece

    The Tube Chair designed by Joe Colombo is a radical modular seating system that embodies the spirit of late 1960s design. Composed of four upholstered cylinders of different diameters, it can be assembled in multiple configurations, from a lounge chair to more open, sculptural forms. Bold, futuristic, and highly innovative, the Tube Chair reflects Colombo’s vision of flexible living and remains an icon of experimental modern design.

  • The designer

    Joe Colombo was a visionary who, more than designing furniture, designed the future. In the effervescence of the 60s, he understood that the world was shifting towards a more nomadic, dynamic, and technified lifestyle. His historical relevance lies in a total break from traditional static furniture; for Colombo, the home had to be a flexible "machine for living." He must be remembered for his mastery of new materials, especially injection-molded ABS plastic, which allowed him to create fluid, futuristic forms impossible with wood. But his greatest contribution was extreme modularity and the "living unit": rolling block kitchens or beds with integrated control stations. Colombo anticipated contemporary micro-housing and the need to optimize space, turning design into functional equipment. His legacy is the idea that the environment must adapt to the user, not the other way around.
  • The brand

    Cappellini is the pure avant-garde of Italian design. Guided by Giulio Cappellini, the brand acted as a global talent scout, discovering figures like Jasper Morrison, Tom Dixon, and Marcel Wanders. It is characterized by an eclectic and experimental catalog that breaks the barriers between art and design furniture. Pieces like the S-Chair or the Knotted Chair challenged traditional manufacturing techniques. Owning Cappellini furniture means possessing a functional sculpture that defines trends; it is a brand for collectors and interior design lovers seeking boldness, color, and a unique visual narrative.
