Concept

The colours of the sky and of the sea in the Blu Ponti Collection that, between 1960 and 1962, Gio Ponti realized to cover, with different combinations, the floor of the lobby and of the hundred rooms of the Hotel Parco dei Principi in Sorrento, the first design hotel in the world. The Ceramica Francesco De Maio was chosen by Ponti’s heirs as the exclusive licensee for the re-edition of the 33 white and blue decorations and now, almost 60 years later, it still produces and sells the Blue Ponti Collection, as a worldwide exclusive. Such a faithful reproduction of Blu Ponti majolica glaze, colours, decorations and thickness, as it used to be in the '60s, that has awarded Ceramica Francesco De Maio with the valuable use of the signature of the architect, an advocate of the industrial design and great appreciator of craftsmanship. The prestigious signature of Gio Ponti, architect, designer and Italian essayist, still one of the most important people of the international scene and among the greatest of the twentieth century, can be found on the ceramic tiles of this Italian company, which is nowadays a world excellence. In Salerno (southern Italy), the great designer realized some prestigious collections, inspired by specific shapes and a certain design content. There, he studied the renewal of the ceramic language and, emphasizing the local context through colours and geometric and naturalistic lines, he created the famous Blu Ponti majolica tiles. A continuity between the past ceramic tradition, the present and future one through craftsmanship, territoriality and a real Made in Italy design.
