Designed in 1953 for Gio Ponti's private house in via Dezza, Milan, the Molteni Gio Ponti D.153.1 armchair is re-issued by luxury Italian furniture brand Molteni&C from the original drawings in the Gio Ponti Archives.
Covers come in two-coloured leather or Punteggiato velvet, both highly distinctive. The velvet, designed by Ponti in 1934, updates the age-old technique of velvet-weaving with contemporary patterns.
You can also choose any fabric or leather from the Molteni&C textile range, or provide your own fabric, subject to approval by Molteni; our design team can send samples. Legs are heat-sealed steel with a satin brass finish, with non-slip plastic feet.
The D.153.1 belongs to the Gio Ponti collection, a project from Molteni&C re-issuing furniture by the great Twentieth century architect and designer. Every piece carries a serial number and complies with the design and materials in the original Gio Ponti documents, and a screen-printed signature further guarantees its origin and authenticity.
The collection also includes dining tables, sideboards, armchairs such as the D.154.2, coffee tables, shelving, rugs and accessories - see related products below.
