JOE PLUSH

Inspired by Pop Art and conceived in the Radical Design style by designers Gionatan de Pas, Donato d'Urbino and Paolo Lomazzi (Studio DDL), the popularity of baseball player Joe DiMaggio, centerfielder with the back number 5 for the New York Yankees, played a decisive role. DiMaggio embodied honesty, respect and loyalty. The son of Sicilian immigrants from a humble background, he left school for sport at the age of 16. In 1949, he signed a contract with the New York Yankees for 100,000 dollars 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 red roses to her grave. Just as the New York Yankees no longer issue the number 5 in his honor, Sudio DDL has created a design monument to the charismatic sportsman with Italian roots with the lounge armchair Joe.

In addition to the anniversary edition in gold and five other color variants in leather, two fabric variants - Joe Jeans and Joe Plush - are also available as a special edition. The furnishing consultants from the TAGWERC Design STORE are at your disposal with material samples for the Joe Baseball armchair helpful. The lounge armchair Joe is legendary: stars and celebrities from all walks of life love the lounge armchair because of its uniqueness, luxurious finish and history. The Italian manufacturer Poltronova makes Joe by hand from the finest leather and fabric. Each baseball armchair is unique, sharing its life with its buyer and gaining patina over time. This makes Joe more of an emotional companion than a functional piece of furniture that welcomes you after a hard day's work and provides you with warmth and comfort, not forgetting its exclusive style.

Joe Plush consists of a steel frame upholstered with polyurethane foam. The robust cover of the XXL size armchair is made of hard-wearing faux fur. The armchair rests on castors, which keeps the lounge armchair Joe Plush mobile despite its considerable size. With a width of 175 centimetres, a depth of 110 centimetres and a height of 95 centimetres, Joe offers enough space to relax and unwind. Despite its sculptural shape, Joe Plush is by no means short on comfort. The TAGWERC Design STORE recommends Joe Plush as an eye-catcher for lofts, studios, dressing rooms, showrooms, boutiques and all those who don't want to compromise on comfort for something special.
