KD 27" lamp by Joe Colombo, published by Kartell in 1967, with green ABS base and opaline PMMMA (altuglas) light globe, all in good condition.
The collaboration between Kartell and Joe Colombo dates back to the 1960s, and has been very fruitful in the design of furniture and design objects. Joe Colombo, whose real name was Cesare Colombo, was a renowned Italian designer, famous for his innovative and functional creations. Kartell, meanwhile, is an Italian company specializing in the manufacture of furniture and plastic objects.
One of the most emblematic collaborations between Joe Colombo and Kartell is the "Universale" chair, launched in 1965. This molded plastic chair has become a classic of contemporary design, recognizable by its simple, ergonomic shape. It became emblematic for its innovative use of plastic in furniture, and paved the way for many other collaborations between designers and manufacturers of plastic furniture, including our KD 27 lamp from 1967.
In addition to the Universale chair, Colombo also designed other pieces for Kartell, including lamps and interior accessories. Their collaboration helped shape the Italian design landscape of the 1960s and beyond, bringing innovative forms and modern materials into homes around the world.
Sadly, Kartell's collaboration with Joe Colombo was cut short by the designer's untimely death in 1971. However, the creations they produced together continue to be sought after by collectors and admirers of contemporary design.
