TUTTO PONTI, GIO PONTI ARCHI-DESIGNER

A major retrospective at the Musée des Arts Décoratifs in Paris from October 2018 to February 2019 illustrated Gio Ponti’s extraordinary career. The exhibition showed over 500 items— from furniture, ceramics, and glass to magazines and architectural designs— some for the first time.

The setting, designed by Wilmotte & Associés, included key pieces of original furniture from the Molteni Museum Collection. The Molteni group is one of Italy’s leading industrial groups in the furnishing sector and comprises Molteni&c (home furnishings), Unifor (office furnishings) and Dada (kitchens), focusing since 2010 on masters of architecture and design and remaking key pieces of Ponti’s furniture.
