About the Item

Originally conceived by Gio Ponti for the VI Triennale di Milano in 1936, this set of eight dining chairs was reissued by Montina in the 1970s, preserving the poetic force and formal clarity of the original design. The sculptural backrests in curved plywood evoke a rhythmic, almost calligraphic gesture — airy and expressive. The solid beech frames, masterfully built and fully restored with shellac polish, retain a luminous warmth. Every joint and element speaks to the high-quality craftsmanship of Montina’s 1970s production. The triangular wood detail that subtly emerges from the front of the upholstered seat recalls Ponti’s iconic Superleggera, a discreet yet intentional echo of the maestro’s vocabulary. These chairs are light in appearance but impressively solid — architectural and ergonomic in equal measure. Freshly reupholstered in a rich off-white, washable fabric and padded with dense modern foam for optimal comfort, the seats combine tactile softness and functionality. They are ready for use in a refined dining setting or elevated gallery context. A rare opportunity to acquire a complete and historically important set, imbued with Ponti’s unmistakable touch of genius.
