Molteni Gio Ponti Round D.154.5 Armchair

The Molteni&C Round D.154.5 armchair was originally conceived in 1954 by Gio Ponti, the great Twentieth century architect and designer. More than 60 years later, this luxury designer armchair is reborn from the original drawings in the Gio Ponti Archives, thanks to the Molteni&C Heritage Collection reissue project.

Incredibly fond of this chair, Gio Ponti used it in many of his architectural projects. The name, Round D.154.5, comes from the rounded shape of the seat and backrest, also referred to as the "soap bar". It is sometimes called "Otto Pezzi" (Eight Pieces) as there are eight pieces that make up the chair: backrest, seat, two curved plywood elements and four legs, which screw into the seat to hold the whole thing together.

The covers can be in one single material, or you can have the sides in a different material; the cost is determined by the most expensive material used. There is a huge range of fabrics and leathers in the Molteni&C collection to choose from, or you can provide your own fabric, subject to approval by Molteni. For more information, please contact our design team who can send out samples and discuss all the options with you.

The steel legs are in a satin brass or black chrome finish. Feet tips in non-slip plastic.

Every piece in the Gio Ponti collection, which includes dining tables, sideboards and shelving units, carries a serial number and complies with the design and materials in the original Gio Ponti documents. A screen-printed signature of the famous architect is a further guarantee of its origin and authenticity.
