Joe Plush Baseball Chair

Joe is shaped like an oversized baseball glove and was designed in 1970/1971 as a tribute to the legendary baseball player Joseph Paul “Joe” DiMaggio by the Italian design trio Studio DDL designed. The Joe Plush lounge chair is made by Poltronova Made by hand according to customer specifications – optionally in the colors 'Taffy Pink', 'Dove Grey', and 'Baby Blue'. The material, high-quality faux fur, is so soft and fluffy that you'll immediately want to snuggle into the Joe Plush armchair. Joe Plush is a special edition.

Inspired by Pop Art and conceived in the style of Radical Design by designers Gionatan de Pas, Donato d'Urbino, and Paolo Lomazzi (Studio DDL), the popularity of baseball player Joe DiMaggio, center fielder with jersey number 5 for the New York Yankees, played a crucial role. DiMaggio embodied honesty, respect, and loyalty. The son of Sicilian immigrants from humble beginnings, he left school at 16 to pursue his sport. In 1949, he signed a contract with the New York Yankees for $100,000 a year. Marilyn Monroe was DiMaggio's great love, and the two were a couple from 1952 to 1954. Until DiMaggio's death in 1999, he regularly sent her red roses to her grave. Just as the New York Yankees retired the number 5 in his honor, Studio DDL has created a design tribute to the charismatic athlete with Italian roots with the Joe lounge chair.


In addition to the anniversary edition in gold and five other leather color options, two fabric versions – Joe Jeans and Joe Plush – are also available as special editions. The interior design consultants from the TAGWERC Design STORE can provide you with material samples upon request. Joe Baseball Chair The Joe lounge chair is legendary: stars and celebrities from all walks of life love it for its uniqueness, luxurious craftsmanship, and history. The Italian manufacturer Poltronova handcrafts Joe from the finest leather or fabric. Each lounge chair is a one-of-a-kind piece that shares its life with its owner and develops a beautiful patina over time. This makes Joe more than just a functional piece of furniture; it welcomes you after a long day at work, enveloping you in warmth and comfort, not to mention its exclusive style.

Joe Plush consists of a steel frame padded with polyurethane foam. The robust cover of this XXL-sized armchair is made of durable faux fur. The armchair rests on casters, which keep the Joe Plush lounge chair mobile despite its considerable size. Measuring 175 centimeters wide, 110 centimeters deep, and 95 centimeters high, Joe offers ample space to unwind and relax. Despite its sculptural form, Joe Plush doesn't compromise on comfort. The TAGWERC Design STORE recommends Joe Plush as an eye-catching piece for lofts, studios, dressing rooms, showrooms, boutiques, and for anyone who wants something special without sacrificing comfort.
