About the Item

Pair of armchairs attributed to Gio Ponti, Italy, late 1940s. These exquisite and remarkably light pieces embody the refined balance of modernity and craftsmanship characteristic of Ponti’s postwar design. Constructed in solid walnut with elegantly tapered legs, the chairs display graceful proportions and a sculptural yet airy presence. The seats are supported by original steel springs, ensuring both comfort and durability. Newly upholstered in a rich yellow fabric, they highlight the sophisticated interplay between warm wood tones and vibrant color—a hallmark of Italian design from this period. Their lightness, both in structure and appearance, makes them easy to place and perfectly suited for a modern, refined interior. The chairs’ timeless lines and subtle details reflect Ponti’s philosophy of creating furniture that is functional, poetic, and effortless. A rare and elegant pair that exemplifies mid-century Italian craftsmanship at its finest.
