Born in 1930, his career spanned various disciplines, including industrial design, interior design, and visual arts. Colombo's work often showcased a blend of functionality and aesthetics, leading to the creation of several iconic pieces beyond the Elda chair, including the innovative "Bob" and "Universal" furniture systems. His designs were characterised by organic forms and a keen understanding of human needs, earning him a lasting legacy in the world of design. Colombo's philosophy was rooted in the idea that design should enhance everyday life, a principle that is evident in the comfort and practicality of the Elda chair.
