When most designers discover that their work was been ripped off, they erupt in understandable fury; not Joe Colombo who would say: \u201cWe\u2019ll just have to make it better.\u201d And if a manufacturer didn\u2019t show as much enthusiasm for a project as Colombo himself, he didn\u2019t waste time arguing, but stopped work and found another company to make it.<\/p>\n

Thanks to this energy and optimism famous designer Joe Colombo produced an extraordinarily broad body of work in his tragically short career. Not only did he die young \u2013 of heart failure at the age of 41 \u2013 but he also came to design relatively late having devoted his twenties to painting and sculpture. Yet in his decade or so as a designer, Colombo was exceptionally prolific. He created some of the most memorable products of the 1960s: from the Universale, the first chair to be moulded from a single material, to the futuristic all-in-one living systems which culminated in his opulent Visiona, the \u201chabitat of the future\u201d.<\/p>\n
