About the Item

"Joe" Baseball Glove Lounge Chair An iconic piece of Radical Design history, the "Joe" lounge chair was designed by Jonathan De Pas, Donato D'Urbino, and Paolo Lomazzi in 1970 and first produced by Poltronova in 1971. Design History Named in homage to the American baseball legend Joe DiMaggio, this oversized, playful, and instantly recognizable chair captures the spirit of the late 1960s and early 1970s design movement. The designers sought to create a piece that was both functional furniture and pop art sculpture, challenging traditional notions of domestic space. The chair's unique form factor makes it a conversation piece and a genuine statement item for any serious collector of modern design. Materials Craftsmanship This particular piece features the classic tan (natural) leather upholstery, which is known to develop a beautiful patina over time, enhancing its character and value. Upholstery: Natural full-grain leather Structure: Internal metal frame with flexible, pre-formed polyurethane foam padding Specifications (Approximate Dimensions) Height: [Insert height, e.g., 34.25 inches (87 cm)] Width: [Insert width, e.g., 68.89 inches (175 cm)] Depth: [Insert depth, e.g., 47.24 inches (120 cm)] Seat Height: [Insert seat height, e.g., 15.75 inches (40 cm)] This chair is an enduring icon, seamlessly blending comfort with artistic expression. This armchair exhibits a magnificent example of natural patina, developed over time, which gives it its unique character and depth. The full-grain leather in tan (or natural) color has subtly darkened at the points of contact—notably on the "fingers" and the seat—creating rich nuances and authentic signs of wear. These variations in shade are not defects, but rather signs of a previous life, which add soul and a tangible history to this iconic design piece.
