The Gio Ponti D.150.5 outdoor chaise longue is part of the Molteni&C luxury garden furniture range, made in solid sustainable teak with waterproof cushions and beautiful outdoor fabrics. Designed by Gio Ponti for the cruise ship Andrea Doria in 1952, it is also part of Molteni's Heritage Collection.
Its contours are marked by two distinctive features. The first is the continuous line of the side, which unites the different parts (backrest, seat, armrest, footrest) in a single stroke. The second is the corner radius between seat and backrest, identical to the one Ponti specified in the construction notes of the '53 Distex, now issued by Molteni as the D.153.1 armchair - see related products.
A piece of great craftsmanship, it is evidence of Ponti's classic contemporary design vision, while the solid natural teak highlights the merits of high-quality carpentry.
The cushion is made of moulded polyurethane covered in waterproof polyester fibre. The removable cover comes in outdoor, draining and weather-resistant fabrics in several categories, including the Musco collection developed in collaboration with Limonta Spa. Musco offers seven different monochrome or striped jacquard and bouclé yarns inspired by shades of nature. You can also provide your own fabric subject to approval by Molteni.
Founded in 1934, Molteni&C brought its craftsmanship outdoors only after years of research into suitable materials.
