BOB Desk Organizer | Desk Tray

Edgeless design

The Bob Utensil Tray Made of polyurethane, it features an organic and easy-care surface. The flexible material accentuates Colombo's organic design. Its flowing lines make this design object an authentic addition to any interior, where Bob can be freely positioned.

Practically from getting up to going to bed

Bob, a desk organizer named after a fictional friend, is ready to bring order and orientation to any room in the house. Bob's workspace isn't limited to the desk, though. It can also be used in the bathroom for razors and cotton pads, in the dressing room for cufflinks and business cards, on a shelf by the entrance for keys and loose change, and on the vanity for eyeliner, kohl pencils, and brushes. This practical container measures 55 centimeters in length, a slim 12.5 centimeters in width, and 8 centimeters in height. It is available in various colors. White, Grey, Red and Yellow to select.

Nomadic workers and open kitchens

Design that seemed futuristic during Joe Colombo's lifetime has become reality today: nomadic workers who travel the world with minimal personal belongings, working here today and there tomorrow; mobile furniture that serves sometimes as a bedside table, sometimes as a coffee table, or as a shelf in the bathroom; and open-plan kitchens adjacent to or even integrated into the living space – all these were Joe Colombo's visions. Once utopias – now reality, just like the utensil collector Bob.

Bob – our conclusion

Bob von B—Line Designed by Joe Colombo in 1970, it represents the fusion of form, function, and futuristic ideas. An absolute must-have for our modern world.
