Shows signs of use.
The lot will be available after a period of approximately 10-15 days.
Measurements: 70 x 150 x 82 (sofa); 71 x 83 x 82 cm (armchairs).
Architect, designer and academic, Gio Ponti is, along with Ettore Sottsass, the leader of the most sought-after Italian designers of the 20th century by collectors.
In addition to the elegance of his furniture, sensitive to functionality, yet original at the same time, Ponti is renowned for his volcanic creativity, which led him to produce and design until the 1970s.
His ability to give voice to new trends made him the "inventor" of the Made in Italy design concept.
Ponti studied architecture at the Politecnico. After the First World War, in which he had to serve, he worked as artistic director for the respected ceramics manufacturing company Richard-Ginori. Between 1923 and 1927 he teamed up with architects Mino Fiocchi and Emilio Lancia, opening his own studio in 1928, and founded the famous design magazine Domus, through whose pages (and those of Lo Stile, a magazine he would found and edit in the 1940s) Ponti influenced international design tastes for over fifty years.
Around 1933, Ponti teamed up with engineers Antonio Fornaroli and Eugenio Soncini to create the Ponti-Fornaroli-Soncini studio, which firmly embraced the modernist aesthetic and worked until 1945. In 1950, Ponti was commissioned to design what was to become one of the iconic buildings of the 20th century, the 32-storey Pirelli Tower in Milan.
Throughout his career, Ponti played many different roles: architect, industrial designer, craftsman, teacher, painter, editor and journalist.
