About the designer:
Gio Ponti, born in Milan, Italy in 1891, was a prolific architect, designer, and writer who became one of the most influential figures of the mid-century modern movement. With a career spanning over six decades, Ponti's contributions to the fields of architecture and design are profound and enduring.
In the 1920s, Ponti co-founded the influential design magazine Domus, through which he championed modernist principles and advocated for the integration of architecture, design, and art. His architectural projects ranged from residential and commercial buildings to cultural and religious institutions, each showcasing his signature blend of rationalism, craftsmanship, and elegance.

Dining table by Alessandro Albrizzi, Italy 1970s
By Alessandro Albrizzi
Located in Athens, Attiki
Lucite, brass and glass dining table by Alessandro Albrizzi, Italy 1970s.
Alessandro Albrizzi opened up his first of many shops all over the world in 1968 at One Sloan Square in London. When the words "Jet Set" meant following the sun in Pucci prints to a bossa nova beat. Albrizzi was there. With panache and sophistication he translated the spirit of swinging London into a line of furniture and objects that were just right for the times. Fortunately, his extensive knowledge and love of classical furniture allowed him to sensitively design a line that has transcended that giddy period and is now classic modern design.
Albrizzi furniture and objects compliment a wide variety of styles from Baroque to Bauhaus. "Albrizzi is a crisp foil to good antiques," says Peter Vaughn, Managing Director of Albrizzi Design...
