ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
'Joe' is a large and extremely comfortable club chair designed in the form of a monumental baseball glove which is mounted on hidden wheels which make for easy relocation. The designers, who were inspired by Pop Art, gave tribute to the legendary American baseball star Joe Di Maggio with wild exaggeration of scale, transforming the baseball glove into a welcoming place to lounge and a surreal experience of functional modern art to enjoy.
This large 'Joe' baseball glove lounge chair would look great in any Mid-Century Modern, Scandanavian Modern or Danish Modern home but could also look fantastic in a Contemporary or Post-Modern room.
