ABOUT PRODUCTID 28161
This set of five Model 4867 chairs, designed by Joe Colombo for Kartell in 1979, embodies Italian Space Age design. Each chair is crafted from injection-molded polycarbonate in a vivid, high-gloss red. The construction is monolithic, with smoothly rounded edges and a distinctive rectangular cut-out in the backrest, characteristic of Colombo’s futuristic vision. The legs are wide and slightly flared, seamlessly integrated into the seat and back, giving each chair a compact, balanced silhouette and soft, organic geometry without sharp angles. The glossy surface reflects light, accentuating the sculptural form. These chairs are stackable for added practicality, with seamless construction and no visible joints or fasteners, highlighting the advanced molding techniques of late 1970s Kartell. The surface shows minor signs of use, such as scratches and scuffs typical of vintage furniture, but no major damage. The set is preserved in good original condition.
The Model 4867’s form reflects the optimism of an era when designers explored new materials and technologies to realize visions of the future. The red polycarbonate evokes the energy and boldness of the 1970s, when Italy embraced plastic as a symbol of modernity. These stackable, sculptural chairs speak of a time when the home was both a place of relaxation and a laboratory for design innovation. Their lustrous surfaces and flowing lines suggest the ambiance of futuristic interiors, where light and color took center stage.
The chairs can be paired with a minimalist table in lacquered MDF or light wood. They work well in interiors inspired by Space Age style, but also in eclectic,
