Gio Ponti

Gio Ponti was another Milanese master of architecture and design. Born just before the turn of the 20th century, he was a man obsessed with flight, a quality which we like to think lends his designs their acrobatic appeal. Indeed, the normal rules of gravity rarely seemed to apply to Ponti. With his clean lines and sweeping flourishes, he brought modern sensibilities to mid-century homes, crafting a plethora of iconic styles for the likes of Molteni&C, Poltrona Frau and Gubi.
