Inspired by Pop Art and in the style of Radical Design by the designers Gionatan de Pas, Donato d’Urbino and Paolo Lomazzi (Studio DDL), the popularity of the baseball player Joe DiMaggio, centerfielder with the shirt number 5 for the New York Yankees, played a crucial role. DiMaggio embodied honesty, respect and loyalty. The son of Sicilian immigrants from humble backgrounds, he left school for sports at the age of 16. In 1949 he signed a contract with the New York Yankees for $ 100,000 a year. Marilyn Monroe was DiMaggio’s great love and they 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 no longer award the number 5 in his honor, Sudio DDL has set a design monument with the Joe lounge chair to the charismatic athlete with Italian roots.

Joe Gold consists of a steel frame that is padded with polyurethane foam. The robust cover of the XXL size armchair is made of soft, gold-coloured smooth leather. The armchair rests on castors, which keeps the Joe Gold leather armchair mobile despite its considerable size. With a width of 175 centimeters, a depth of 110 centimeters and a height of 95 centimeters, Joe Gold offers enough space to unwind and relax. Despite its sculptural shape, Joe Gold does not neglect comfort. The TAGWERC Design STORE recommends Joe Gold to all those who don’t want to do without comfort with something special.
