Elda chair by Joe Colombo for Comfort, Italy, 1970

Elda chair by Joe Colombo for Comfort. Lounge chair model 'Elda', designed by Joe Colombo and produced by Comfort, Italy, in the 1970s. The Elda chair is an icon of futuristic Italian design. Bold, sculptural, and unmistakably elegant, this remarkable lounge chair perfectly captures the visionary spirit of the Space Age. With its distinctive fiberglass shell and generously padded black leather cushions, the Elda chair combines striking aesthetics with exceptional comfort. The enveloping form creates a private, cocoon-like seating experience, while the swivel base adds a dynamic, functional touch. Its organic curves and innovative materials were groundbreaking at the time and remain just as impressive today. More than a chair, the Elda is a statement piece that transforms any interior into a refined design environment. Timeless yet futuristic, the Elda chair stands as a testament to Joe Colombo’s revolutionary approach to design. Naming the chair after his wife added an intimate dimension to what is otherwise such a futuristic, space-age design. The chair is in perfect condition considering its age of more than 55 years, thanks to the love, tender and care it received.
