D.154.2
Gio Ponti’s D.154.2 armchair captures the architect’s luminous spirit and masterful approach to form with its embracing, sinuous silhouette. The iconic armchair was born from a deeply personal project, the Villa Planchart in Caracas (1953-1957) - the private residence of art collectors Anala and Armando Planchart, which they commissioned Gio Ponti to design from top to bottom as both the architect and the interior designer.

VILLA PLANCHART CARACAS, VENEZUELA
The armchair’s structure features a rigid polyurethane frame paired with a softer counter-frame and cushion. This layering creates a cocoon-like comfort, with an interplay of textures and colors across the three components, each reflecting Ponti’s nuanced attention to detail and balance.
