Joe Jeans

50th anniversary special edition

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.

To celebrate the fiftieth anniversary of the armchair Joe designed by DDL Studio, Centro Studi Poltronova has created four special editions for a must–have item which has never gone out of the catalogue. Joe Jeans is an elegant high quality denim version whose material pays homage to popular American imagination, where the culture of baseball was born.

🥎 Joe Ball Gold
pouf/footrest by D’Urbino, Lomazzi
.
For the fiftieth anniversary of Joe, was released Joe Ball, a leather footrest and pouf, whose shape and stitches are those of the classic baseball. A natural completion to the armchair, the pouf has a weight inside which also makes it steady as a seat, preventing it from rolling. Joe Ball’s leather bears stamped the characteristic marks of Centro Studi Poltronova, of the fiftieth anniversary and of Joe.
