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

Joe Colombo’s brilliant idea has long since 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 in the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York and in La Triennale di Milano, the Museum of Italian Design in Milan.

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