Gio Ponti
This armchair, a testament to mid-century design, draws inspiration from Gio Ponti's 1950s voyages across Latin America. Celebrated with the Wallpaper Design Award, it stands as a cherished icon in the Molteni&C collection. Its design, reminiscent of a protective shell, offers a comforting embrace with its soft cushioning, part of the trio of customizable elements that allow for a personalized touch. A hallmark of refined living spaces, this piece elegantly combines aesthetic allure with comfort.
The design mirrors the insights Ponti gained during his Latin American travels in the early '50s. Presently, the armchair features a firm polyurethane structure complemented by a softer counter-frame and cushion, all customizable with Molteni&C's diverse textile options. Its recognition in 2016 by the Wallpaper Design Awards underscored its status as a Molteni&C hallmark.
“I dedicated myself heart and soul to designing Villa Planchart, and in it I was at liberty to express my own approach to architecture, both outside and inside”
- Gio Ponti, 1955
