Croog Pro is a rounded geometric monoline typeface, built

in four weights with true italics. Squarish in proportions,
monoline letterfoms gain more readability by having short
rounded serifs and terminals. The typeface is ideal for use
in display sizes, though is quite legible in text.
Croog Pro is released as OpenType fonts with extended
glyph amounts which enabled support of more Latin
languages as well as Cyrillic languages.

¶ Joe Colombo (1930-1971) designed “Tube

Chair” in 1969. The extremely original arm-
chair he invented – combining four hollow
cylinders in PVC, foam rubber, and leather –
is proof of the deeply oppositional spirit of
the Milanese self-professed “anti-designer”.
Like many of his fellow artists in Italy and
in Europe who gathered under the Radical
Design label, and drew inspiration from Pop
Art and avant-gardist movements, Colombo
used art to express his dissent for main-
stream rationalism. ¶ The modular cylinders
that make up “Tube Chair” allow the user
to customize the armchair’s shape (or join
more than one to invent even more imagina-
tive configurations), adapting it to the avail-
able space. ¶ Flexform sold “Tube Chair”
packaged in a canvas bag similar to the ones
used for sleeping bags. It definitely was a
revolutionary’s armchair.

¶ кресло «тюб» (“Tube Chair”) было разра-

ботано Джо Коломбо (1930-1971) в 1969 году.
Крайне оригинальное кресло—сочетание
четырех полых цилиндров из ПВХ, пено-
резины и кожи – является доказательством
глубоко оппозиционного духа миланского
самопровозглашенного «анти-дизайна». Как
и многие его коллеги-дизайнеры в Италии
и в Европе, которые объединились под
ярлыком «Радикальный дизайн» и черпали
вдохновение из поп-арта и авангардных
движений, Коломбо использовал искусство,
чтобы выразить свое несогласие с домини-
рующим функционализмом. ¶ Модульные
цилиндры, которые составляют кресло, поз-
воляют пользователю настраивать форму
кресла (путем присоединения цилиндров
в желаемой конфигурации), адаптируя его
к реальному пространству. ¶ Фирма FLEX-
FORM продавала “Tube Chair”, упакованное
в холстяной мешок, подобный тем, которые
использовались для спальных мешков.

Since the beginning of his career Colombo was most interested in living
systems. His early modular container Combi-Centre of 1963 is an example
for that. This preference for furniture systems led to designs like Additional
Living System (1967–1968) and the chairs Tube (1969–1970) and Multi
(1970), which could be assembled in various positions to get a great number
of sitting positions. They reflect Colombo’s main goal, variability.

Colombo’s futuristic designs

were integrated micro-living
worlds. His Visiona-Living-
room of the future was exhib-
ited at the VISIONA-EXHIBITION
of 1969. This room consisted
of “Barbella-like” space
interiors where furniture
became structure elements
and vice versa.
