Elda armchair by Joe Colombo for Comfort, 1963.

Elda is the first armchair to use large surfaces of fiberglass reinforced plastic. Its design was created in 1963 and began to be produced in 1965 by the publisher Comfort, and later by F.LLi Longhi in the 2000s. For its design, Joe Colombo was inspired by ship hulls and used shipbuilding technology to create it. The self-supporting structure is placed on a swiveling base with a superimposition of padded cushions covered in leather. With its enveloping upper part, this piece of furniture creates a space in the room that isolates it acoustically from its surroundings. Colombo named it after his wife.

Mousse: polyuréthane.
Cuir: Nero Madras Alce. Cuir semi-aniline

Le cuir semi-aniline est une peau de grande qualité, tannée, plongée dans un bain végétal. La teinture pénètre en profondeur le cuir mais ne le colore pas. Elle forme une très fine couche de protection qui conserve l’aspect naturel et le toucher unique de la peau. Le cuir semi-aniline a un traitement supplémentaire qu’il reçoit le rend plus résistant que le cuir aniline. Il affiche donc une meilleure résistance à la lumière et respire mieux.
