Bottiglie

news | objects

Embodying rich imagination, Bottiglie by Gio Ponti is a set of three bottle-shaped sculptures that form a small family of decorative objects. Ponti conceived the home as a stage, where objects create a lively domestic scene. These pieces, taking on their own personality, create their own unique scene allowing the materials to take center-stage as they age and develop character over time.

Sculpted from solid ash wood and recalling the shape of an obelisk, each bottle is uniquely shaped as a purely sculptural object, neither functional nor neutral in form. Intended for display, Bottiglie enhances the space with a touch of play and whimsy.

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.
