Joe Colombo ‘Elda’ Lounge Chair, Cream Fiberglass & Black Leather, Comfort, Italy, 1965–1975
Joe Colombo designed the iconic ‘Elda’ lounge chair in 1963 as a bold vision of future living. Comfort in Meda, Italy produced this early example between 1965 and the mid-1970s, making it a highly collectible first-generation piece of Italian Space Age design.
The chair features a sculptural fiberglass-reinforced shell in a cream tone, which retains its original patina and shows minor age-related cracking typical of early production. The integrated 360-degree swivel base enhances both function and presence.
Inside, upholstered polyurethane cushions wrapped in soft black leather deliver comfort while preserving Colombo’s original design intent. A professional reupholstery ensures durability without compromising authenticity.
Collectors value this model for its distinct silhouette, innovative materials, and historical significance within mid-century Italian design.

About the Designer & Manufacturer
Comfort, based in Meda near Milan, collaborated closely with Joe Colombo throughout the 1960s and produced several of his most forward-thinking designs, including the Elda and Supercomfort lounge chairs. Colombo pushed boundaries with new materials and modular concepts that continue to influence contemporary design.
Since 2007, Fratelli Longhi has reissued selected Colombo designs, including the Elda and Astrea chairs originally conceived in 1963.
