Gio Ponti arranges interiors of buildings and imagines fabulous scenery for the theater as for the transatlantic liners.
His boundless inspiration led him to collaborate in four hands with Piero Fornasetti but also with houses like Venini, Fontana Arte, Artemide, Knoll, Poltrona Frau, Cassina, Guzzini.
With Richard Ginori, his vases are colored to infinity and it’s how the famous hand of the witch was born. For Christofle, there are more than 35 objects, candlesticks, cups and boxes that come out of the imagina- tion of Gio Ponti.
