ABOUT GIO PONTI
Giovanni “Gio” Ponti (born November 18, 1891, Milan, Italy–died September 16, 1979, Milan, Italy) was one of the most influential Italian architects, industrial designers, furniture designers, artists, and publishers of the 20th century. He is considered the father of modern Italian design and is associated with the development of modern architecture in Italy. Throughout his long creative career, which spanned more than six decades, Gio Ponti created numerous furniture, decorative art, and industrial product designs using artisanal and modern production techniques, in addition to creating important works of architecture in Italy and abroad.
ABOUT CASSINA
The “Amedeo Cassina” of the brothers Cesare and Umberto Cassina was born in 1927 in Meda, Brianza. The main activity is woodworking, within the company, for the production of coffee tables. Over the years the company expanded, especially in the post-war period, also thanks to collaborations with external architects who brought their expertise and research.
In the 1950s Cassina moved from artisanal to serial production, adopting the logic of industrial design. A change also induced by the commission of furnishings for the interiors of large cruise ships. Furthermore, in this period some of the company's best-known products took shape: the 646 chair and the 699 chair, known as the "Superleggera", both designed by Gio Ponti.
Among the authors who became part of the I Maestri Collection are: Franco Albini, Erik Gunnar Asplund, Giacomo Balla, Le Corbusier, Charles Rennie Mackintosh, Ico Parisi, Charlotte Perriand, Gerrit Thomas Rietveld, Frank Lloyd Wright and Marco Zanuso
In February 2014 the group led by Poltrona Frau was acquired by the American company Haworth.
