A perfect example of Colombo’s futuristic and ergonomic approach, these chairs embody the designer’s quest to merge form, comfort, and modernity.


Each chair features a solid walnut frame with a distinctive architectural profile — square-section legs and a gently curved backrest that wraps subtly around the sitter. The seats and backs are padded and newly upholstered in rich brown velvet, enhancing both comfort and elegance.

A refined balance of geometry and softness, the Model 300 represents the evolution of postwar Italian design toward functional sophistication and sculptural simplicity.
