notes:
The Birillo is in the permanent collection of the Museum of Modern Art, New York, and here is what the Design Museum of London has to say about it: "In his brief but brilliant career, Joe Colombo (1930-1971) emerged as one of Italy's most influential product and furniture designers. Combining an exuberant, visually seductive pop aesthetic with technical rigour, he developed many of the most innovative examples of 1960s furniture design. Convinced that technology was transforming modern life, all his work was intended for "the environment of the future". Colombo designed the Birillo stool, which takes its name from the Italian word for "bar stool" , during the development of his ambitious Visiona project to create an imaginary living space. Robust and versatile with castors tucked neatly beneath its base, the Birillo was intended for use in fashionable 1970s offices as well as bars."
