A peek into the family that shaped space-adapting furniture




A half century ago the Colombo family took the ugly wall bed and remade it into something stylish, easy-to-use and a lot more than just a moving bed. In the 1970s they added a table to the pull-down bed, then a sofa and eventually began to remake all furniture in the home. Today Clei creates morphing bunk beds, pop-up desks, slide-out tables, "bookish" open-out kitchens and even entire walls that open up to create pop-out, fully-furnished rooms. We stopped for a visit with the family at their offices and showroom in the Brianza region of Northern Italy where "every corner" is a furniture company according to architect and designer Pierluigi Colombo who took us for a tour.
