Inspired by Pop Art and in the style of Radical Design by designers Gionatan de Pas, Donato d'Urbino and Paolo Lomazzi (Studio DDLThe popularity of baseball player Joe DiMaggio, center fielder with jersey number 5 for the New York Yankees, played a crucial role in the design. 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 his death in 1999, DiMaggio regularly sent 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.
