Gio Ponti

A multi-talented designer, Gio Ponti designed several pieces in highly-different creative fields, from theatre settings, to lighting, seating and to kitchen objects as well as interiors of ocean liners. He is widely acknowledged as one of the greatest masters of Italian architecture and is unanimously considered one of the most influential designers of the 20th Century.
Gio Ponti, a firm advocate of Italian industrial design, supported and promoted serial production in the context of interior design as a sophisticated, economic and democratic solution for the changing needs of the modern society.
