Studying the prolific work of Gio Ponti is to appreciate the clear and unifying vision behind a complex creative universe. A synthesis of the arts, his creations combine Italian grandeur with a deliberate lightness to shape an iconic style that developed intuitively. His unique ability to work perfectly at different scales allowed him to approach with the same conviction and sense of beauty the design of a teaspoon or an entire city. He was an architect and designer as well as an editor, poet, and man. A treasure in itself, his work is also a milestone of the mid-century Italian Renaissance and of the modernist values he sought to put into practice.

This new book on Ponti’s work is the most complete monograph published to date, unprecedented in scale and scope. It examines the development of his work over 6 decades, with 136 catalogued projects reproduced in high resolution, and presents each object in the context in which Ponti created it. As windows into his elusive life, the unpublished materials and private images included create new dialogues between his famous masterpieces and his lesser-known achievements. Produced in close collaboration with the Gio Ponti archive, it includes an extensive biographical essay by Stefano Casciani and a set of texts offering an intimate view of his entire work. Materializing the essence of Ponti’s philosophy of modernity, this book presents architecture as a scenic object, a “self-illuminated” stage for his humanist art of living and boundless creativity
