Blow Chair by De Pas, D’Urbino, Lomazzi and Scolari, 1967

  • Designed By - De Pas, D’Urbino, Lomazzi and Scolari
  • When - 1967
  • Made From - Welded vinyl
  • Manufactured By - Zanotta
  • More Info - This is humours chair is utterly iconic and timeless. It challenged the idea that furniture is a solid, permanent feature in a home as this can be easily deflated and put away. It was designed to be reasonably cheap, disposable and fun. It is light enough to be used in a swimming pool. It was the first inflatable chair to be mass produced and even though there have been many copies and other versions designed but this one is still the best. It is part of the permanent collection at the Museum of Modern Art in New York. The original comes in clear, yellow or red.
