What influence me?Personally I think its his motivation and persistance towards design. I believe when most designers discover that their work was been ripped off or copied, they erupt in understandable fury and will be damn upset. However for Joe, he would just say: "We’ll just have to make it better."
And if a manufacturer didn’t show as much enthusiasm for a project as Colombo himself, he didn't waste time arguing, but stopped work and found another company to make it.
All these shows that his persistance and his passion towards the design industry which makes me feel so happy to have such a good designer in the past.
Another thing is that his determination and continuous learning attitude. He liked to experiment with different materials and design ever since he took over his father's factory. He never stopped and looked at what he already accomplished but continued to explore and improve on his designs. Some of the materials he experimented with were the Fabre Glass and plastic when both were newly developed in the late 1950s.
He embraced new technology into his works which show that he was highly adaptable and flexible in his thinking and designs.
Seriously he was really a good and productive designer. He had far vision about his designs and always think for others.
