Joe Colombo's BOB Desktop Organizer Now Back in Production

Don't worry, you can pay more than double if you like

By Rain Noe - March 10

BOB is the name of a desktop organizer designed by Joe Colombo in 1970, and long since discontinued. But now the polyurethane object has been resuscitated by B-Line, an Italian company dedicated to acquiring the original molds of discontinued Italian objets d'esign.

It's available in five colors.

Now, ready for the bad news? B-Line doesn't sell direct-to-consumer, and the retailers that stock BOB are asking an arm and a leg. Design Public is selling it for $190 a pop. Competitor Bauhaus 2 Your House is asking an absurd $427! Each!
