Gio Ponti and Paolo De Poli began their collaborations in the 1940s when Ponti designed panels for the University of Padua and De Poli, a well-known enamel artist, executed the designs. The pointillist images depict scenes from a carnival and illustrate Italian life in the 1940s. The gate-fold decorated doors give the cabinet an element of volume and density that grounds Ponti's graceful structure. Sold with stamped and signed letter of authenticity by Lisa Licitra Ponti.

Gio Ponti, La Pietra, pg. 146
