Description
Italian architect and designer Gio Ponti (1891-1979) is a figure of great diversity in design history. His prolific output and eclectic style make him difficult to pin down, but his key works are showcased in this extensive overview. Ponti's work spans various fields, including architecture, industrial design, ceramics, silverware, and glass. A recurring interest for him was the home, where he innovated on total design, carefully considering both interior and exterior space. The reproductions, floor plans, and drawings featured in this edition highlight his talent for creating expressive, neoclassical spaces with modernist sensibility. This monograph provides an introduction to Ponti's exuberant creativity and illustrious career, featuring key works such as the Denver Art Museum, a collection of churches, and the Pirelli Tower.
