Gio Ponti D.154.2 Armchair

Product details

Designed by Gio Ponti

The armchair, on the other hand, was designed for one of the projects closest to Gio Ponti’s heart, the villa of the Planchart collectors in Caracas (1953-57). It is part of the Gio Ponti Collection, which was curated by Molteni&C under the artistic direction of Studio Cerri & Associati.

The architecture reflected the ideas he had gathered during his trips to Latin America in 1952-53. Today the armchair, which is like a cozy shell, has a rigid polyurethane frame, a soft polyurethane counter-frame, and a cushion, and is upholstered in the Molteni&C textile range, with the option of differentiating the three component parts. In 2016 this "love chair" won the prestigious Wallpaper Design Awards and became a Molteni&C icon.

Incorporating its artisan traditions with innovative technology, Molteni&C furnishings are renowned not only for their beauty but also their technical and functional quality, often invisible but unfailingly impressive.

Italian designer, architect and editor, Gio Ponti (1891–1979) is one of the most influential design visionaries of the 20th century. Ponti designed a wide array of furniture and products through his career - from cabinets, lamps and chairs to ceramics and glassware - and his buildings, including Pirelli tower in Milan, and Denver Art Museum, were erected in 14 countries.

Through Domus, the design magazine he founded in 1928, Ponti promoted a new curiosity and open-mindedness towards new design thinking.
