Designer: Joe Colombo, Kartell, Noviglio

Designed: 1963/1964

Armchair no.4801 was designed by Joe Colombo, Kartell, Noviglio in 1963/1964. It is a special lounge chair made of 3 wooden elements which looks very fluid – a characteristic of Colombo’s work – and though the design looks simple, the technical development took two years. The main element creates the base and the back and the other two create the seat and the backrest. It has rubber stoppers on the top and the bottom of the base element. It comes in various woods but the original was molded, lacquered plywood. Dimensions: 25″w x 26″d x 23″h.

Designer: Preben Fabricius & Jrgen Kastholm

Designed: 1963

The Scimitar chair was designed by the architect and professor Kastholm, Jrgen and shown to the public in 1963. He designed this chair together with Preben Fabricius after an idea that came up while he was in Lebanon. It was produced by Bo-ex since it was designed until now, with a break of 15 years. It’s made of stainless steel and covered in black leather (might come in other colors, too). The foot is a very stable, half circle and the chair itself is very comfy. It’s an excellent example of classic Danish design and has the following measurements: 70x83x70cm (HxWxD).
