Pair of Italian Mid-Century Modern Wood Benches / Stools Attributed to Gio Ponti

About the Item

Rare pair of Italian Mid-Century Modern benches or stools attributed to Gio Ponti with hand cut wood side panels in a unique, organic form. The pieces are reflective of the work of Gio Ponti circa 1955 and, in particular his work at the Parco di Principe hotel. The hotel featured several pieces utilizing free form, cut-out forms which created a distinct sculptural aesthetic among the furnishings. These pieces are representative of that distinctive architectural style; they are rare and much sought after. Gio Ponti was the most important architect and designer in Italy from the late 1920's through the entire 1950 decade and beyond. His work embraced art deco, modern neoclassical and modernist perspectives and he was active in every area of design including large buildings, residences, furniture, lighting, objects, ceramics and dinnerware and glass. He launched the magazine, Domus and assisted in founding Fontana Arte. He contributed more decorative arts than almost anyone in the 20th century.
