Produktbeschreibung
Gio Ponti (Milan 1891-1979) was a key figure for Italian modernism; it is impossible to confine his legacy to a single creative field. From 1923 to 1930, Ponti was artistic director of the now cult Italian tableware manufacturer Richard Ginori. In 1928, he founded the internationally renowned magazine "Domus", which - apart from a break in the 1940s - he continued to direct for the rest of his life. In the postwar era, Ponti and his associates Antonio Fornaroli and Alberto Rosselli shaped the architectural image of Milan, but were also active across the globe from Caracas, to Tehran, to Denver, to Islamabad, to Eindhoven. This book delves into the many components of Ponti's contribution to the twentieth century, and traces his enduring influence in Italy and across the globe.
