Italians Do it Better!




Born in 1891, architect Gio Ponti made a name for himself in the architectural, furniture design, and publishing worlds. He designed furniture in his name, and founded the very famous Fontana Arte glass business as a creative extension of the Luigi Fontana glass manufacturing company. 

His work remains highly coveted for its whimsical mid-century modern vibe!
