Gio Ponti: The complete works of the master of Italian design.

To study Gio Ponti 's prolific work is to appreciate the clear and unifying vision behind a complex creative universe. A synthesis of the arts, his creations combine classical Italian grandeur with a deliberate lightness that shaped a unique and intuitive style.

Capable of working with the same sensitivity from the design of a teaspoon to the layout of an entire city, Ponti was an architect, designer, editor, poet, and thinker. His legacy constitutes one of the pillars of the modern Italian Renaissance and of the humanist vision of design in the 20th century.
