Under a staircase, in a niche, next to the bed, in the dressing room, under the vanity, as a side table, in the office, a bar or lounge – Boby S from B-Line simply unfolds its advantages everywhere: multifunctionality and versatility. Rounded edges and a sophisticated mechanism make the Boby S mobile container simply unique. Joe Colombo was known throughout his life for his visionary designs and unique living environments. The Boby S roll container combines these, his design maxims in an ideal way.

Joe Colombo’s brilliant idea has become a design icon. Just one year after the launch and while Colombo was still alive, the Boby mobile container was awarded the Italian SMAU Innovation Award. The Boby storage is part of the permanent exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York and La Triennale di Milano, the Museum of Italian Design in Milan.

B-Line produces the Boby S mobile container 100 percent in Italy. A set of three wooden panels, which fits all Boby mobile container models, can be ordered at TAGWERC Design STORE and used as an upper shelf. Please note that the height of the wooden shelf increases the container only millimeters.

Boby S is the second smallest roll container from the Boby Trolley series by Italian furniture label B-Line. Designer Joe Colombo designed the Boby Trolley S in 1970. This makes the Boby S roll container not only a mobile storage solution but also a real design classic. TAGWERC as official partner of B-Line offers the entire Boby Trolley collection, consisting of four different sizes, different partitioning configurations and many colours, as licensed originals and all available spare parts.
