Joe Colombo, private apartment in Milan, 1971
In a single space of 90 square meters is a two-sided dining element with a swivel top (a, b); the folding wall (c) can move along two paths; the folding bed can be rotated in two ways (d, e). Indicated in color are the containers on wheels and convertible seats (see photo) that can be moved easily. The rest of the apartment (closets, kitchen, bathroom, etc..) was not modified due to the existing mechanicals and so had to be “conventional.”
“Because we live in a civilization conditioned by television, it is right that even here it is possible to eat while watching the video.”
Design is fine. History is mine.
