Gio Ponti
Olivewood, glass
41.5"dia x 16.5"h
Ponti's use of the lattice construction became a repeated theme in his design from the 1930s and 1950s. This table utilizes a tapering and slightly flaring leg placing the design firmly within the context of Ponti's neo-classical period of the 1930s. Ponti chose variations of this design for several important Milanese commissions including Casa La Porte (1935) and Casa Borletti (1936).
Literature:
Gio Ponti: L'Arte si Innamora Dell'Industria, La Pietra, ppg. 58, 61 and 201 illustrate similar examples
Provenance:
Private collection, Milan
