Gio Ponti

Dining Chairs Model "969"

Lacquered Beech Wood, Foam, Velours

Manufactured by Montina International, c. 1970

Among the icons of Giò Ponti we find Ponti 29692, a reinterpretation of the spiral chair presented in 1936 at the VI Triennale di Milano.

Re-designed in 1969 by Ponti himself, It exalts the classic aspiration of Ponti's sign in a sum of unique and unrepeatable gestures: the spiral backrest is a tribute to the decoration that becomes a structural element, the interweaving of the lower crosspieces that unbalances the symmetry creating a tension between the rule and the unexpected, the flared triangular prism legs tapering towards the ground and upwards. A stylistic figure imbued with elegance and uniqueness.

Set in very good condition, no stains or scratches
