Throughout his short career Colombo strove for both material and structural unity in his work. The 4801/5 is constructed from only three interlocking moulded plywood elements which slot together without the need of any fittings. The abstracted form of this chair and its fluidity of line anticipates Colombo's later furniture in plastic.
