Acerca del artículo

Combi Center is a renowned industrial design product born from the creative genius of Joe Colombo, an Italian designer famous for his innovative vision during the 1960s and 70s, whose creations had the power to surprise. Created in 1963 and updated in 1997, Combi Center was manufactured by the historic company Bernini. Conceived by Colombo as a versatile object, Combi Center was designed as a modular living system aimed at optimizing space in residential interiors—one of the key goals in Joe Colombo's design philosophy. The idea behind it was to create a flexible system that could efficiently and functionally organize and divide space within the home environment, and that could be moved (thanks to wheels at the base) to adapt to different spatial needs and uses. Combi Center was composed through the stacking of multiple modular units with different functions: a geometric solid in the shape of a cylinder featuring a bar unit with sliding doors, a drawer unit, a vertical shelving unit for books, magazines, and records, and a cabinet unit with sliding doors for tableware. Aesthetically, it appeared as a highly distinctive object for its time, as Joe Colombo combined rosewood with curved aluminum—a perfect balance of tradition and modernity that already showcased his innovative industrial vision in the 1970s. Combi Center comes with a certificate of authenticity issued by Bernini. Bibliography - L’ arreda casa, Ed. edizionale Domus, Year 1969 - Le fabbriche del design, by G. Gramigna_Ed.

Favata, Joe Colombo and Italian Design of the Sixties, Cambridge, page 66, Year 1988 - Joe Colombo. Inventing the Future, Vitra Design Museum, Weil am Rhein, page 150, Year 2005 JOE COLOMBO considered himself a "creator of the environment of the future." A versatile man, he was active as a painter, architect, graphic designer, and industrial manager. During the 1960s, against the backdrop of the space race and Pop Art, the Italian industrial designer sought to create design solutions using new materials and sleek, functional forms. Leveraging his family's factory, Joe Colombo conducted experiments with cutting-edge plastics like fiberglass, ABS, PVC, and polyethylene, with the goal of creating mass-produced furniture. In addition to the new materials, Colombo explored the concept of self-assembly, in pieces like modular furniture that could be arranged according to users' desires. His groundbreaking piece was the adjustable Universal Chair, developed in collaboration with Kartell between 1965 and 1967, considered the first chair to be molded from a single material.
