Giordano Chiesa Wardrobes and Armoires
As a master cabinetmaker and furniture craftsman, Giordano Chiesa produced beautiful mid-century modern pieces, largely in collaboration with Italian starchitect and designer Gio Ponti.
Although the pair had a long history of collaboration, their work for stylish mid-century Italian hotels stands out. In the mid-1950s, Ponti and Chiesa teamed up with manufacturer Dassi Lissone to create streamlined walnut and brass furniture for the Royal Hotel in Naples, including headboards, side tables and wardrobe doors for each room. A decade later, the duo designed sleek, blue formica-surfaced ashwood writing desks, dressers and headboards, for the Hotel Parco dei Principi in Rome.
Chiesa produced Ponti’s sculptural glass-topped coffee table, which features artistically aligned maple legs and slats to form a sort of grid as its base. Similar to Ponti’s no. 1101 coffee table for Singer and Sons, Chiesa and Ponti’s table rivals the more famous design in its eloquence and craftsmanship.
