Mid Century designer Joe Columbo's 4801 chair was the only item Kartell produced that was made from a material other than plastic. The original, made from 3 pieces of bent plywood, was produced from 1965 to 1979. With 49 years of advances in polymer technology, the 4801 has been re-released, this time in black, white, and clear plastic.
