D.555.1 By Molteni & C.
Collection: Heritage
Designer: Gio Ponti
Manufacture year: 1954
Type: Round crystal coffee table
From Gio Ponti’s house, located in via Dezza in Milan, the small table D.555.1, designed in 1954-1955, is produced by Molteni&C based on the original drawings from the ponti archives. It completes the Gio Ponti Collection which was a furnishing range designed by the architect between 1935 and 1950s. Metal hand painted structure and glass top. Molteni&C is re-examining its own history with an eye to the future. The 80!Molteni exhibition, the creation of the company’s historical archive and its recently inaugurated Molteni Museum have provided an opportunity for revival, from the origins of modernity. Intriguing traces have emerged from a past that turns out to be contemporary, ripe for a re-think today. Unique pieces that can step straight out of their museum showcases and into our contemporary homes.
