Transcending the dichotomy between architecture and design, Architettura tray by Gio Ponti reveals the two disciplines as complementary and inseparable forces. Inspired by architectural principles, its hexagonal shape recalls a form that has long been central to Ponti’s architectural explorations. Ponti consistently interpreted his surroundings through an architectural lens, channeling that vision to create beauty in everyday life.

Gio Ponti

Giovanni “Gio” Ponti, (Milan, November 18, 1891 - Milan, September 16, 1979), is one of the Italian masters of architecture. He was also a designer and essayist and one of the most important of the twentieth century. Other than the great architectural works which carry his unmistakable signature, he created a vast amount of work in the furniture sector. This is demonstrated in his three Milanese houses which were fully furnished in the “Ponti” style. The houses in via Randaccio, 1925, Casa Laporte in via Brin, 1926 and the last in via Dezza, in 1957 is an "expression" of his home design ideas.
