ABOUT PRODUCTID 20684
This office organizer, designed by Joe Colombo for B-Line, exemplifies Italian radical design from the 1970s. Made of molded ABS plastic, it stands out with its vibrant, glossy red color and high-gloss surface. The construction is modular, featuring a geometric form with rounded edges and seamless finishing, with no visible screws or fasteners. The organizer includes open side compartments—three of them curved for easier access—and two pull-out drawers at the top. Its flat top surface, bordered by raised edges, allows for additional storage or display. Four black plastic casters ensure easy mobility. Condition: good, with minimal signs of use, no visible cracks or discoloration, and the original sheen preserved.This piece radiates the energy of Italian optimism in the 1970s, a time when design was both bold and practical, and everyday objects embraced vivid colors and soft, modular shapes. The blocky silhouette, integrated handles, and smooth finish evoke an era of material innovation and creative freedom. Like a crimson accent in an architect’s studio, it recalls the spirit of plastic experimentation and the pleasure of playful utility.This organizer could be paired with a minimalist desk in light wood or metal to highlight the contrast of materials and colors. It would work well in a modern home office, surrounded by geometric graphics, chrome lighting, or set against a white wall to amplify its red tone. It is worth combining with other postmodern elements—a soft-shaped chair or an abstract-patterned rug—to create a space with a touch of Italian lightness and a collector’s sensibility.
