Also available as Art Edition (No. 1-1,000) including an exclusive,
square format reproduction of the Arlecchino coffee table and a set
of four numbered ocean liner interior prints. To study Gio Ponti's
prolific body of work is to appreciate the clear, unifying vision
behind a complex creative universe. A synthesis of the arts, his
creations expand intuitively with the Italian grandeur and studied
lightness that defined his iconic style. Ponti's rare capacity to
move seamlessly between scales allowed him to approach the design
of a teaspoon with the same conviction as he did an entire city. He
was as much an architect and designer as he was a publisher, poet,
and man. A treasure in its own regard, his contribution is also a
distinctive landmark of Italy's mid-century Renaissance and the
modernist values it sought to realize. This new book is the most
comprehensive account of Ponti's work to date, unprecedented in
scale and scope. It tracks the development of his oeuvre over 6
decades, with 136 projects indexed and reproduced in high
resolution, each object framed by the context in which Ponti had
created it. Like windows onto his elusive life, unpublished
materials and candid imagery create new dialogues between his
famous masterpieces and his lesser-known feats. A rich layer of
texts, featuring an extensive biographical essay by Stefano
Casciani, was produced in close collaboration with the Gio Ponti
Archives offering an intimate insight on his life's work.
Materializing Ponti's core philosophy of modernity, this book
presents architecture as a performing object, a "self-illuminating"
stage for his humanistic art de vivre and boundless creativity.

programmazione terapeutica, l efficacia nel controllo delle cure
