Lounge Chair in the style of GIO PONTI (Milan, 1891 - 1979). Brass structure. Upholstery in blue and gray velvet. New upholstery in very good condition. Measurements: 96 x 72 x 80 cm. Armchair with brass tube feet and upper structure of angular shapes that embrace the user. It is a design halfway between the design tradition of the twentieth century and futuristic fantasy, dominated by a bichrome that avoids the stridencies and characterized by the play of planes and volumes. Architect, designer and academic, Gio Ponti is, along with Ettore Sottsass, the leader of the most sought-after Italian designers of the 20th century by collectors. In addition to the elegance of his furniture, sensitive to functionality, yet original at the same time, Ponti is recognized for his volcanic creativity, which led him to produce and design until the 1970s. His ability to give voice to new trends made him the "inventor" of the Made in Italy design concept. Ponti studied architecture at the Politecnico. After World War I, in which he had to serve, he worked as artistic director for the respected ceramic manufacturing company Richard-Ginori. Between 1923 and 1927 he partnered with architects Mino Fiocchi and Emilio Lancia, opening his own studio in 1928, and founded the famous design magazine Domus, through whose pages (and those of Lo Stile, a magazine he would found and edit in the 1940s) Ponti influenced international taste in design for more than fifty years. By 1933, Ponti partnered with engineers Antonio Fornaroli and Eugenio Soncini to create the Ponti-Fornaroli-Soncini studio, which firmly embraced the modernist aesthetic and worked until 1945. In 1950, Ponti was awarded the commission for what would become one of the iconic buildings of the 20th century, the 32-story Pirelli Tower in Milan. Throughout his career, Ponti played many different roles: architect, industrial designer, craftsman, teacher, painter, editor and journalist.

CHARLES EAMES (USA, 1907 - 1978) & RAY EAMES (USA, 1912 - 1988) for VITRA Editor. EA-117 chair from the "Aluminium Group" series, design 1958. Chrome-plated aluminium frame. Upholstery in green wool. Swivel base, with castors. With Vitra stamp. Measurements: 80 cm (height). Now considered a classic of 20th century design, the Aluminium Chair by Charles and Ray Eames was created in 1958 and has been in continuous production ever since. It was created for a private home in Columbus, USA, built by architects Saarinen and Girard. In the Aluminium Chair, the Eameses adapted the shape of the seat to the actual structure of the chair by stretching the fabric or leather between the two parts of the structure, thus making it rigid while maintaining its elasticity. This elastic form allows it to adapt easily to the contours of the body, gradually, thus increasing the comfort of the seat. Charles and Ray Eames, a married couple and artistic couple, worked in the fields of industrial and graphic design, fine art and film, and are responsible for numerous designs that have become classics of the 20th century. Charles Eames studied architecture for two years at the University of Washington, then began his career working in a studio on residential housing projects. In 1938 he moved to Cranbrook, Michigan, to continue studying architecture and design at the city's Academy of Art. He eventually became a teacher there, heading the industrial design department. Together with Eero Saarinen, the son of his teacher Eliel Saarinen, he designed the trophy for the Organic Design Prize, awarded by the Museum of Modern Art in New York. In 1941, after divorcing his first wife, he married his colleague at Cranbrook, Ray Kaiser. Together they settled in Los Angeles, where they remained for the rest of their lives. In the late 1940s, Ray and Charles designed their home together, known as the "Eames House", now considered a masterpiece of modern architecture. In the 1950s the couple continued to work in architecture and furniture design, pioneering the use of new techniques and materials such as fibreglass and plastic resin in the manufacture of chairs. They are currently represented in the Design Museum in London and the MoMA in New York, among many others.
