Product Details

Product Description

The "Joe" lounge chair by De Pas, D'Urbino, Lomazzi for Poltronova is a stunning piece covered in beautiful patinated leather with artist embossed signatures, the Poltronova brand logo, and 'JOE' embossing. Despite being classified as a chair, it is spacious enough to seat two people or one person with their furry companion. The deep seat invites one to sink in and relax, much like a chaise. Created in 1970, this leather "Joe" chair was one of the first to be produced by designers Jonathan de Pas, Donato D'Urbino, and Paolo Lomazzi who were passionate about industrial technology and materials for making furniture and temporary architecture. The chair boasts a heavy-duty steel frame, preformed polyurethane foam padding, and is entirely covered in high-quality soft leather. "Joe" is an ultra-comfy chair designed in the form of a baseball glove mounted on hidden wheels making it easy to move around. The designers, inspired by Pop Art, took a cue from the legendary American baseball star Joe DiMaggio, using wild exaggeration of scale to transform a baseball glove into an inviting place to lounge, and a work of functional modern art to behold. This large and comfortable lounge chair can fit perfectly in a Mid-Century Modern, Scandinavian Modern, or Danish Modern decor. It can also look great in a Contemporary or Post-Modern room or a Traditional, Transitional, Classical, or Art Deco setting for a bit of contrast. In addition, it can also be a great commercial piece in hotel lobbies, members' clubs, creative design studios, or high-rise executive offices. It can serve as a side chair, bedside chair, fireside chair, dressing or changing room chair, hallway chair, entryway or mudroom chair, nursing or reading chair, conference room chair, guest chair, lobby chair, lounge chair, or occasional chair. This chair has been exhibited at various art events and design exhibitions across the globe, attesting to its significance in contemporary furniture design. Although the leather has some staining, it remains soft and usable without requiring reupholstering. Overall, it is in good condition and ready for immediate use.
