Molteni&C, brings classic Italian furniture design to the UAE, unveiling its exclusive Ponti line, a collection based on the timeless furniture of Italy’s most influential architect of the 20th century: Gio Ponti

The new furniture line launched by Molteni&C and available exclusively at Finasi, captures the true essence of Italian design and the classic quality of Gio Ponti’s works, characterized from generation to generation as a mix of aesthetics and design. Under the artistic direction of Cerri&Associati, extensive research and study of drawings from the Ponti archive, and a sole-right agreement with Ponti’s heirs, Molteni&C gave life to the Ponti collection.

The collection includes pieces based on Ponti’s works ranging from 1935-1970. Recently re-issued by Molteni&C, is the Ponti D. 153.1 Armchair, a well-loved piece first designed in 1953. Featuring a brass structure, it is offered in bi-colour blue and white leather, or Punteggiato China Blue velvet, reinterpreting the age-old technique of velvet weaving, but bringing it up to date with contemporary patterns. Covers are also available in fabrics and leathers from the Molteni Collection. Other pieces include a bookcase, bureau, small table, picture frames and a rug based on the design for Casa Ponti in Milan.

Noted as one of the most influential and important architects of the 20th century, Ponti revolutionized the design and architecture worlds with classically timeless designs that continue to transcend generations. In Molteni&C’s Ponti collection, available exclusively at Finasi’s Dubai showroom, the pieces were kept true to their original form, even using Ponti’s original fabric designs as upholstery.

“As Italians and Milanese, we have a duty to make people aware of Ponti’s heritage and to reveal a little known archive,” explains Gio Ponti’s nephew, Salvatore Licitra. “There are numerous forgotten works and products to be reedited, which also offer us a chance to understand the man, his work and a crucial moment in architecture and design.”

The Ponti line that reflects the works of an architectural legend is just one example of elegant Italian design brought to homes by Molteni&C, and one example of the high quality furniture brands that make up Finasi’s portfolio. With operations in Europe and more recently in the UAE, Finasi’s exclusive partnership with design brands includes names that combine traditional Italian-quality artisanship with innovative technology to create unconventional and elegant spaces.
