Gio Ponti Seating
Italian, 1891-1979
An architect, furniture and industrial designer and editor, Gio Ponti was arguably the most influential figure in 20th-century Italian modernism.
Ponti designed thousands of furnishings and products — from cabinets, mirrors and chairs to ceramics and coffeemakers — and his buildings, including the brawny Pirelli Tower (1956) in his native Milan, and the castle-like Denver Art Museum (1971), were erected in 14 countries. Through Domus, the magazine he founded in 1928, Ponti brought attention to virtually every significant movement and creator in the spheres of modern art and design.
The questing intelligence Ponti brought to Domus is reflected in his work: as protean as he was prolific, Ponti’s style can’t be pegged to a specific genre.
In the 1920s, as artistic director for the Tuscan porcelain maker Richard Ginori, he fused old and new; his ceramic forms were modern, but decorated with motifs from Roman antiquity. In pre-war Italy, modernist design was encouraged, and after the conflict, Ponti — along with designers such as Carlo Mollino, Franco Albini, Marco Zanuso — found a receptive audience for their novel, idiosyncratic work. Ponti’s typical furniture forms from the period, such as the wedge-shaped Distex chair, are simple, gently angular, and colorful; equally elegant and functional. In the 1960s and ’70s, Ponti’s style evolved again as he explored biomorphic shapes, and embraced the expressive, experimental designs of Ettore Sottsass Jr., Joe Colombo and others.
Ponti's signature furniture piece — the one by which he is represented in the collections of the Museum of Modern Art in New York, Germany’s Vitra Design Museum and elsewhere — is the sleek Superleggera chair, produced by Cassina starting in 1957. (The name translates as “superlightweight” — advertisements featured a model lifting it with one finger.)
Ponti had a playful side, best shown in a collaboration he began in the late 1940s with the graphic artist Piero Fornasetti. Ponti furnishings were decorated with bright finishes and Fornasetti's whimsical lithographic transfer prints of things such as butterflies, birds or flowers; the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts possesses a 1950 secretary from their Architetturra series, which feature case pieces covered in images of building interiors and facades. The grandest project Ponti and Fornasetti undertook, however, lies on the floor of the Atlantic Ocean: the interiors of the luxury liner Andrea Doria, which sank in 1956.
Widely praised retrospectives at the Queens Museum of Art in 2001 and at the Design Museum London in 2002 sparked a renewed interest in Ponti among modern design aficionados. (Marco Romanelli’s monograph, which was written for the London show, offers a fine overview of Ponti’s work.) Today, a wide array of Ponti’s designs are snapped up by savvy collectors who want to give their homes a touch of Italian panache and effortless chic.

Rara poltrona di Gio Ponti e Giulio Minoletti per la prima classe del treno Roma
By Officine Breda, Gio Ponti, Giulio Minoletti
Located in Rivoli, IT
Comunemente noto come Settebello, secondo il nome coniato dagli operai che lo costruirono, l’automotore a sette vagoni Elettrotreno rapido 300 (ETR 300) è stato in esercizio presso le Ferrovie dello Stato dal 1952 al 1992. Un mezzo davvero unico, prodotto solo in 3 esemplari dalla ditta Ernesto Breda di Sesto San Giovanni (MI) con l’idea di dotare la flotta delle ferrovie statali di un prodotto che unisse nuova tecnologia e design avveniristico. Con una potenza di 2600 kW, più che doppia rispetto al suo predecessore ETR 200, L’ETR 300 poteva raggiungere agevolmente i 200 km/h, percorrendo l’intera tratta Milano-Roma in sole 5 ore e 45 minuti, ad una media di oltre 110 km/h quando ancora la direttissima Roma-Firenze non esisteva. Il progetto, caratterizzato da sagome aeronavali all’esterno, venne firmato da Giò Ponti, da Giulio Minoletti ed altri architetti e designers di grido dell’epoca, e prevedeva per l’arredamento interno innovative pareti vetrate, finestrini panoramici, salotti con poltrone mobili, sala ristorante ed ampio bar, servizio bagagli registrati. Forse l'elemento più distintivo erano le due carrozze bombate di testa che vennero progettate con cabine di guida sopraelevate per lasciare spazio in basso a confortevoli salotti belvedere per gli 11 posti di prima classe.

Gio Ponti “Model 811” Lounge Chairs In Stained Walnut And Upholstered In Kvadrat
By Figli di Amadeo Cassina, Gio Ponti
Located in Hellouw, NL
The legendary Gio Ponti. This fundamentally innovative architect has a long list of trades to his name; industrial designer, artist, teacher, writer, publisher and of course furniture designer. As a native son of Milan, he was responsible for designing the Pirelli Tower there. This is his most well-known work as an architect, but his career spans a period of sixty years during which he completed numerous other remarkable and groundbreaking projects.
The same is true of the illustrious magazine Domus which he founded in 1928 and paralleled all his endeavours. Ponti has designed a considerable amount of furniture, almost all of which belong in an aesthetically superior category and in an incredibly consistent way. He definitely layed the foundation for what later became known as Italian design. Mass-produced furniture with a relience on top notch craftmanship. This set of lounge chairs “Model 811” for Figli di Amadeo Cassina can...
