A true symbol of sixties design, the '4801' launched in late 1960 was also famous for being the only piece by Kartell made entirely of wood. Today, contemporary technology has made it possible to create the same product using PMMA, with new industrial production systems recreating the curved and sinuous shape of the interlocking elements of this iconic armchair.

Joe Colombo
After studying at the Brera Academy and Milan Polytechnic, Joe Colombo worked as a painter, architect, graphic artist and industrial manager. From 1960 he devoted himself exclusively to design, and in 1968 he organised an exhibition for the XIV Triennale presenting new ideas in design and interior decoration, including his Programmable System for Living. Then in 1972 the exhibition "Italy: The New Domestic Landscape" at the MOMA in New York included his design for a Global Furnishing Unit. A number of designs by Colombo are now part of the permanent collection at MOMA, and his work continues to be produced by companies including Zanotta and Kartell. In what was a short career spanning only 10 years, Colombo produced numerous pieces for Zanotta including the Grinta armchair, the Mastro table, and Birilio bar stool.
