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.

Rare armchair by Gio Ponti and Giulio Minoletti for the first class of the ETR train
By Officine Breda, Giulio Minoletti, Gio Ponti
Located in Rivoli, IT
Commonly known as the Settebello, after the name coined by the workers who built it, the seven-car railcar Electric Rapid Train 300 (ETR 300) was in operation with the State Railways from 1952 to 1992. A truly unique vehicle, produced in only 3 examples by the Ernesto Breda company of Sesto San Giovanni (MI) with the idea of equipping the state railway fleet with a product that combined new technology and futuristic design. With a power output of 2600 kW, more than double that of its predecessor ETR 200, The ETR 300 could easily reach 200 km/h, covering the entire Milan-Rome route in only 5 hours and 45 minutes, at an average of more than 110 km/h when the Rome-Florence direttissima did not yet exist. The design, featuring aeronaval silhouettes on the exterior, was signed by Giò Ponti, Giulio Minoletti and other prominent architects and designers of the time, and provided for innovative glass walls, panoramic windows, lounges with movable armchairs, restaurant and large bar, and registered baggage service for the interior. 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.
