D.555.1
Originally designed by Gio Ponti between 1954 and 1955 for his own home in Via Dezza in Milan, the D.555.1 small table is a refined testament to the architect’s enduring design legacy. This piece, that never reached the mass production at Gio Ponti's time, is faithfully reproduced by Molteni&C from original archival drawings.
The table’s slender metal frame, meticulously hand-painted, offers a purposeful structure that supports a smooth glass top. The colors of its various segments are arranged so that their tones subtly shift depending on the viewing angle - a play with perspective inviting to explore different points of view.
Designed with versatility in mind, the D.555.1 fits effortlessly into a variety of interior settings, whether as a side table in a living room or an understated display surface. Its modest proportions and refined detailing speak to a thoughtful approach to everyday elegance.
