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.

IB KOFOD-LARSEN (Denmark, 1921 - 2003). Armchair, ca. 1960. Teak wood, fabric upholstery. Needs refinishing. Measurements: 80 x 72 x 72 cm. Armchair made of teak wood with fabric upholstery. Design by Niels Koefoed, refined and clearly modern, with a certain organic air typical of Danish design of the period. The wood, simply polished, is expressed in all its natural beauty. The body has a high, straight, sloping backrest, separated from the closed arms, with right-angled upper armrests. Danish furniture designer and factory owner Niels Koefoed created a wide range of dining furniture in the typical Danish mid-20th century modern style. The KoefoedsHornslet furniture factory, named after the town in which it was located, was founded by Koefoed's father, Einar Koefoed, in the 1920s. The town of Hornslet had three furniture producers at the turn of the 20th century, each specialising in different areas of the design industry: fine furniture, upholstery and joinery. KoefoedsHornslet was dedicated to the production of fine furniture, although Niels' most popular designs were dining chairs. In 1964, Koefoed designed the modernist Eva Chair, which featured three vertical slats in the backrest, and was produced by Koefoeds in a choice of teak or rosewood. The "Eva" chair was part of a series of three dining chairs, the other two being the highly organic "Ingrid" chair (1960s) and the ladder-back "Lis" chair (1961), all of which are believed to be named after important women at Koefoed's. In 2004, KoefoedHornslet moved production to Thailand, where it continues today.
