Description
A two drawer Boby trolley, designed for the office, but which can also can be used in the domestic environment. Designed by Joe Colombo in 1970, this trolley is made from injection moulded acrylonitrile butadiene styrene by Bieffeplast, Padova, Italy. The versatile unit has two pivoting drawers and a number of shelves or storage places and a divided tray top. The whole unit is on a set of three castors, in tripod arrangement, with the additional support of two metal legs, set back from the edges, to prevent the unit toppling over when the drawers are opened.
