Joe Cesare Colombo's designs for the likes of O-Luce, Kartell, Bieffe, Alessi, Flexform and Boffi still resonate today...so much so, the team at ChauhanStudio dedicated the design of their new line of home phones after Colombo himself...
Joe Cesare Colombo's designs for the likes of O-Luce, Kartell, Bieffe, Alessi, Flexform and Boffi still resonate today...so much so, the team at ChauhanStudio dedicated the design of their new line of home phones after Colombo himself...
Coming in two different models, the Colombo One upright, and the Colombo Two rests horizontally. The space age 60s design wouldn't seem out of place in a Kubrick directed film, and each phone will be available in three colours: white, black and one special accent colour of "Boby Trolley Green" for the Colombo One and "Special Orange" for Two. Unfortunately, it looks like these affordable phones (just £40) won't be coming over here to the States. A sure shame considering the selection of home handsets we have to choose from.
