This iconic fireside chair was designed by Gio Ponti in 1939 and produced by Casa & Giardino during the 1950s.

From 1923 to 1930 he served as the artistic director of the Richard-Ginori porcelain factory. In 1927, Ponti started his first architectural office, together with Emilio Lancia, and in 1928 he started the magazine Domus, which is still regarded as one of the most influential European magazines for architecture and design.
