The D.153.1 designed by Gio Ponti in 1953 and riedited by Molteni&C. has a fir solidwood structure with elastic stripes, stuffed in polyurethan. The legs are in thermowelded steel with glazed brass finish. The upholstery is in Rubelli's "Punteggiato" fabric. The fabric, designed in 1934, reinterprets the centuries-old corduroy technique, updating it with contemporary patterns, as the dotted fabric in colour gradation.
Molteni&C realizes a project involving re-makes of furniture and furnishings designed by renowned 20th century maestro Gio Ponti. Works that have an innovative energy due to the form, technique and historic moment in which they were designed, and that caused a break with conventional tastes and language. Remaking implies being respectful to the soul of the design updating it. New technologies, new materials, new functional solutions, but respecting the original. Industrially produced furniture, for everyone, not limited editions, manufactured with the utmost attention to detail, material and proportions, in Ponti’s footprints but renewed, to live in contemporary homes alongside contemporary pieces.
