Gio Ponti

Gio Ponti, a legendary architect and designer, left a significant mark on Italian design during his tenure as the artistic director of Ginori 1735 from 1923 to 1933. His innovative creations in Richard Ginori porcelain blend contemporary art with traditional craftsmanship, garnering international acclaim, including the Grand Prix at the Universal Exhibition in Paris in 1925.

Ponti’s career, spanning from 1921 to 1978, played a pivotal role in revitalizing Italian architecture and design post-World War II. His work helped establish “Made in Italy” as a symbol of superior quality and style. Ponti was passionate about various forms of design, from industrial and interior design to furniture, lighting, and, notably, Ginori porcelain.

Richard Ginori Gio Ponti Collaboration

Ponti’s collaboration with Ginori 1735 was exceptional due to his involvement in every stage of the design process, from initial sketches to final production. One of his most notable works for Ginori is the “Donne e Architetture” vase series, featuring intricate hand-painted designs in blue and white, depicting women on clouds. This series, a testament to Richard Ginori Gio Ponti’s craftsmanship, is available in two sizes and showcases his ability to blend art with functionality.

The “Orcino” vase is one of Gio Ponti’s best known works and the name reveals the architect’s background, as do the series of small vases occupying the cells and the perspective created by the cells themselves, which makes it impossible to look at the object from just one point of view.
