Explore Timeless Elegance with the Gio Ponti Collection
Immerse yourself in the creative universe of Gio Ponti, an eclectic talent in 20th-century Italian design. An architect, industrial designer, artist, and editor, Ponti left an indelible mark on the artistic landscape. Graduating in 1921, he contributed to modern architecture in Italy and marked his career with iconic collaborations.
In 1928, Gio Ponti founded the Domus magazine, bringing a breath of fresh air to the world of furniture. His creativity extended to high-end furniture, spectacular lamps, and objects for mass production. His Superleggera chair, continuously produced by Cassina since 1957, is an example of the balance between strength and lightness.
Among his notable collaborations, FontanaArte witnessed Ponti's genius in designing iconic lamps, such as the Pirellina - Pirellone (1967). Molteni&C. presents the Gio Ponti Collection, a rich selection of furniture and seating, including the D.154.2 armchair (1953) and the D.552.2 wooden and glass coffee table.
The Gio Ponti Collection is a celebration of elegance and innovation, a tribute to the visionary genius who redefined Italian taste in the post-war period. Discover timeless design that transforms spaces into functional works of art.
