Gio Ponti
Giovanni Ponti, known as Gio (1891–1979), is considered one of the masters of Italian architecture, designer and essayist, among the most important of the 20th century. The architectural works that bear his unique signature are accompanied by a vast production of furnishings, as evidenced by the three houses, fully furnished "alla Ponti". Indeed, we recall those in via Randaccio (1925), Casa Laporte (1926) in via Brin and those in via Dezza (from 1957), the "manifesto" of his design. Gio Ponti, promoter of Italian industrial design, proposes mass production in interior design as a "sophisticated", economic, "democratic" and modern solution. Molteni&C takes care of a re-edition project of furniture and furnishings designed by Gio Ponti, some originally produced precisely for these private homes. After a long process of research, selection and study of prototypes the collection was presented on the occasion of the Salone del Mobile 2012, thanks to the collaboration and exclusive agreement signed with the Ponti heirs. Gio Ponti graduated from Architecture at the Politecnico di Milano at the end of the First World War, where he served on the front line earning some decorations in the field. In 1921 he married Giulia Vimercati, with whom he will have four children: Lisa, Giovanna, Letizia and Giulio.
