Gio Ponti
Gio Ponti Art Edition
At the heart of this edition: – The Planchart Coffee Table, a re-edition of Ponti’s iconic Arlecchino design from 1954, originally created for the Villa Planchart in Caracas. Rendered in square format, its colorful, structural surface echoes the spirit of movement and modernism. – Four fine art prints: delicate drawings from 1948–49, once proposals for the interiors of Italian ocean liners, now rare glimpses into Ponti’s vision for luxury in transit. Preserved in the CSAC archive in Parma, they reveal his commitment to detail and atmosphere, where each space became a stage for elegance.
Over six decades, Ponti built a universe, rich, inventive, and unmistakably Italian. This book, the most comprehensive to date, captures that arc. With 136 projects and unpublished material, it offers a deeper look into the man who shaped not only forms, but ways of living. Texts by Lisa Licitra Ponti and Stefano Casciani unfold alongside images that move between design, art, and architecture.
To collect this edition is to hold a legacy. A testament to Ponti’s belief that design should uplift, inspire, and endure.

“The most resistant element is not wood, is not stone, is not steel, is not glass. The most resistant element in building is art. Let's make something very beautiful.”

CURATOR´S NOTE
Few figures in design history have managed to blur the boundaries between architecture, art, and daily life as effortlessly as Gio Ponti. This Art Edition offers not just a retrospective, but a reencounter—with a mind that found poetry in proportion, and playfulness in structure. What makes this edition truly collectible is its layered insight: texts by Lisa Licitra Ponti and Stefano Casciani reveal the intimate and intellectual dimensions of Ponti’s world, while the accompanying re-edition of the Planchart Coffee Table and limited fine art prints bring his legacy into tactile form. It is a book that doesn’t just document a life—it distills a philosophy. For those who collect not trends, but visions that endure, this is an essential piece—where design is not just studied, but felt.
