Joe is a big comfortable chair in the form of a giant baseball glove, mounted on invisible wheels.‎ With this project the designers, inspired by the poetics of Pop Art, gave material form to their admiration for the legendary American baseball star Joe DiMaggio.‎ With a courageous shift of scale, they transformed the glove into a welcoming place to sit, inserting a hyperrealist figure borrowed from the world of art into the domestic environment.‎ Materials:  Structure in metal Padding in preformed polyurethane foam Covering in leather Colors: Wide range of colors
