Description

Boby is much more than a simple container: it is the trolley storage unit that made design history. Functionality and detail are its strong points which, together with an undeniably pop flavour, continue to make it the most popular storage trolley in creativity sectors as well as in the medical, and in the home. Designed with injection-moulded ABS plastic drawers and compartments that guarantee simple vertically modular solutions, Boby provides versatile customized storage capacity, while its polypropylene casters guarantee full mobility. The Boby Trolley Top, made of natural materials, is also available in multi-layered oak or Canaletto walnut, or in cork in the Moka or Natural finishes.

Boby was designed by Joe Colombo. Colombo was educated in fine arts and architecture in Italy, first working as a painter and sculptor professionally. In 1955, he transitioned to focusing on a design career. Colombo would go on to produce designs for Kartell, Bieffe, Alessi, among others. His designs were playful and formally expressive yet distinctly "high design." Colombo passed at the age of 41, yet MoMA carries fourteen of his works in their permanent collection, including the Boby Trolley.

What should I expect when ordering an item with lead time?

Estimated lead times are shown under "Delivery", above. Read our shipping policy to learn more.

Lead times are estimated based on previous production times from our manufacturing partners, but lead times can change depending on availability and circumstances outside of Rarify's control.

For example: if purchasing an imported or made-to-order product, international shipping and import times depend on many factors. This includes US customs operations, global trade circumstances, and production facilities in other countries.

We will try to fulfill your order as quickly as possible. Our international freight forwarding partners help to take burden off of you during the process of importing; we appreciate your patience while your order is fulfilled.

Purchasing made-to-order is one of the most responsible ways to purchase, as it helps prevent furniture waste on our planet.

Vintage items are typically in-stock in the USA and ready to ship once purchased.

Do you deliver to NYC?

Yes, in-stock items can often be delivered to NYC quickly by our skilled couriers. Pieces are delivered by hand to your residence. This typically takes 1-2 weeks for items stocked at our warehouse in PA.

What is Freight shipping?

Freight shipping is how most furniture is shipped: secured by hand on a pallet and transported on a truck.

Furniture arrives curbside, often on the shipping pallet for protection.

Freight shipments can take longer and are more costly than regular mail, but help to prevent damage to furniture during delivery.

Rarify's entire collection is evaluated by credentialed experts for authenticity. We strive to only list an item for sale if we're certain it's authentic. Our team reviews every piece.
