Gio Ponti
Design Monograph by Ugo La Pietra
Gio Ponti monograph about Gio Ponti's architectural work in the 1930s. Rare out of print title about the master of Italian mid century modern design. This is the original Italian version with text in Italian only (no English text) but pictures and descriptions are self-explanatory. A valuable reference work on the Italian designer's work of the 1930s. Every serious collector of mid century modern Italian design should have a copy of this book. Profusely illustrated with black and white pictures.
Gio Ponti was one of Italy's most influential designers whose work includes automobiles, furniture, interiors, and buildings. Working in a multitude of materials, he is a pivotal figure in the history of twentieth-century architecture and design, and his work continues to inspire young designers who are increasingly rediscovering it today. This expansive and exhaustively researched monograph chronicles the complete spectrum of Gio Pontis output, from early ceramic work as design director for Richard Ginori to his last and most famous architectural works, Milans Pirelli Tower and the Museum of Modern Art in Denver. Also featured are Pontis automobile designs for Alfa Romeo, interiors for Italian luxury liners, bathroom fixtures for American Standard, the famous Superleggera chair for Cassina, and the Alitalia offices in New York.
