Story
Colombo's late 1960s design
GUBI introduces the sofa as the work of Joe Colombo from the late 1960s and calls its edition a way of bringing Colombo's vision of functional, innovative, future-facing design to life. The page describes the look as gently retro and the comfort as inviting.
Two sizes of sofa
The page gives the sofa in two sizes. The 3-seater is the default item, and the 2-seater shares the 68 cm height and 89 cm depth listed in the tables.
