Est: €700 - €900
JOE COLOMBO (Italy, 1930-1971) for Stilnovo. Table lamp "Topo", 1970s. Chromed metal. Exhibits wear consistent with age and use. Measurements: 87 x 70 x 70 cm. Desk lamp with articulated arm by means of ball joints, designed by Joe Colombo and edited by the Milanese lighting house Stilnovo around 1970. It is a lamp that combines simplicity and elegance. Colombo was an industrial designer born in Milan. Before devoting himself to design (starting in the 1950s), he was a painter and sculptor. Some historians believe that it was Colombo who made Milan the capital of design. He designed flexible, compressed interiors with rooms that could vary in size and placement within a single floor. His futuristic vision led him to devise circular shelves that hang from the ceiling, glasses with an off-center foot so that wine and cigarettes could be held in the same hand. He believed in plastic as a modern, revolutionary and effective material. He began experimenting with new materials, such as reinforced plastic, and with novel construction techniques and manufacturing methods. His first design for Kartell was chair No. 4801 (1963-1964) in three pieces of plywood. Such a design inspired his later work with plastic, such as the Universale Chair No. 4860 (1965-1967), the first adult seat molded in injection molded plastic (ABS). He died at the age of 40 while preparing for a major exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art in New York.

Est: €500 - €550
JOE COLOMBO (Milan, 1930-1971) for Bieffeplast, Padua, Italy. Vintage trolley "Boby", 1970s. White ABS plastic. With small black wheels. With designer's and manufacturer's stamp. This piece is part of the permanent collection of the MoMa in New York and the Milan Triennale. Smau Prize in 1971. It shows signs of wear due to use and the passage of time as it is a vintage piece. Measurements: 74 x 43 x 43 cm. The "Boby" trolley is considered one of Joe Colombo's most emblematic pieces and is part of the permanent collection of the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York. It features a white plastic frame with several storage compartments and black plastic wheels. The functional and versatile design of "Boby" has made it a sought-after choice for a variety of settings, from offices to homes. It was originally designed as a storage unit for medical supplies and equipment. It was first manufactured in 1969 by the Italian company Bieffeplast, and was later adapted for use in offices and homes. Architect and designer Cesare Colombo nicknamed "Joe" Colombo, was an artist, architect, furniture, product and interior designer who was essential to Italian design in the 1960s. Trained at the Academy of Fine Arts and Architecture of the Polytechnic University of Milan, where he devoted himself, among other things, to painting, sculpture and drawing, skills that would serve him to develop his career as a designer by creating his own studio in 1962. Throughout the 1960s he collaborated with important publishers such as Kartell, O-Luce and Zanotta. Many of his works are still exhibited in museums around the world and the artist is the subject of periodic retrospectives, studies and exhibitions. During the 1960s, the designer worked mainly on the creation of furniture that stood out for being easily modular, flexible and practical, as is the case with these chairs, which can be transported and adapted to the needs of their user. He focused on a global design, where the furniture elements transcend space and architecture. In this way, Colombo moves towards a form of design that helps the user to save space and time. Some of the Italian designer's most famous works are the "Elda" armchair (1963), the "Continental Library" (1965), the "Universal" (1967) and "Tube" chairs (1969) and the "Chariot Boby" (1969). His career and achievements led him to participate in the XIV Milan Triennale, exhibiting some interior design proposals. In 1964 he won the gold medal at the Milan Triennale with the acrylic table lamp, which is now part of the permanent collection of the Museum of Modern Art in Philadelphia. In 1972, shortly after his death, his overall furniture project was exhibited in the exhibition "Italy: The New Domestic Landscape" held at the MOMA in New York, realized by ELCO - FIARM, Boffi, Ideal - Standard, with the help of Sormani. In 1984, a retrospective of his work was held at the Museum of Modern Art in Villeneuve. Later, in 2005, the Milan Triennale hosted the retrospective Joe Colombo Inventing the Future.

Colombo, Joe Cesare: Nuclear Drawing
Est: €1,100 - €1,500
Nuclear Drawing Pinsel, Stempel, Feder in Schwarz und Farbstift auf bräunlichem Velin. 1953. 50 x 37,6 cm. Unten links mit Faserschreiber in Schwarz signiert "joe cesare colombo" und datiert. Eine explosive Dynamik wohnt der frühen Zeichnung inne, entstanden zu Beginn des "Movimento Arte Nucleare". Colombo war in Vielem seiner Zeit voraus: Er schuf nicht nur ikonische, markante Entwürfe für Klassiker des futuristischen Designs der 1960er Jahre, sondern hatte sich bereits Anfang der 1950er Jahre, nach seinem Studium der Bildenden Kunst an der Mailänder Brera-Akademie, der Bewegung der Nuklearen Kunst um Enrico Baj und Sergio Dangelo angeschlossen, zu der auch Yves Klein, Asger Jorn, Arman, Piero Manzoni und Antonio Saura stießen. Ihre künstlerische Auseinandersetzung mit den Auswirkungen des Atomkriegs auf die Erde und das menschliche Leben interpretierte das traumatische Ereignis der Atomexplosionen und der resultierenden Verwüstungen mit wirbelnden, spritzenden Bewegungen. Materie in Bewegung zu zeigen war das künstlerische Ziel der Arte Nucleo, zu der Colombo mit seinem innovativen, geradezu utopischen Stil entscheidend beitrug, noch bevor er als Architekt und Industriedesigner berühmt wurde. - Provenienz: Mosan, Liège, Auktion 14./15.06.2006, Lot 233 Finarte, Mailand, Auktion 07.07.2022, Lot 185 - Wir bitten darum, Zustandsberichte zu den Losen zu erfragen, da der Erhaltungszustand nur in Ausnahmefällen im Katalog angegeben ist. - Please ask for condition reports for individual lots, as the condition is usually not mentioned in the catalogue.

JOE COLOMBO (Italy, 1930-1971) for Stilnovo Suspension lamp "Hat", 1960s. Metal enameled in white.
Est: €1,400 - €1,600
JOE COLOMBO (Italy, 1930-1971) for Stilnovo Suspension lamp "Hat", 1960s. Metal enameled in white. Measurements: 35 x 65 x 65 cm. Joe Colombo designed this lamp for the Italian firm Stilnovo in the 1960s. Of large dimensions, in the shape of a wide-brimmed hat, it is enameled in white and constructed in two pieces. The upper part casts a soft light on the large shade. Colombo was an industrial designer born in Milan. Before turning to design (beginning in the 1950s), he was a painter and sculptor. Some historians believe that it was Colombo who made Milan the capital of design. He designed flexible, compressed interiors with rooms that could vary in size and placement within a single floor. His futuristic vision led him to devise circular shelves that hang from the ceiling, glasses with an off-center foot so that wine and cigarettes could be held in the same hand. He believed in plastic as a modern, revolutionary and effective material. He began experimenting with new materials, such as reinforced plastic, and with novel construction techniques and manufacturing methods. His first design for Kartell was chair No. 4801 (1963-1964) in three pieces of plywood. Such a design inspired his later work with plastic, such as the Universale Chair No. 4860 (1965-1967), the first adult seat molded in injection molded plastic (ABS). He died at the age of 40 while preparing for a major exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art in New York.
