ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Joe Colombo (1930–1971) was one of Italy’s most innovative designers, celebrated for his futuristic approach to domestic environments. His works for firms such as Kartell, O-Luce, and Bieffeplast redefined modern living through integrated, multifunctional systems. This bar reflects his philosophy of “living systems,” in which furniture was designed not as static objects but as dynamic components of everyday life.
