joe colombo - ‘roll ’, 1962 / ‘superleggera’, 1964

with its curved elements the model superleggera
has a sculptural expression.
this sophisticated armchair is composed of
multilayered wood and leather upholstery.
by using a minimum of material colombo still reaches
a high degree of comfort.
the weight of a person can be fully dispersed.
the large number of seams, sewn by hand, make the
chair unique. an earlier example is the roll chair.
