About the Item

Garden and Indoor Chair, attributed to Gio Ponti – 1940s for "CASA E GIARDINO". Painted iron with a distressed finish, timeless style A true design icon with a poetic feel, this 1940s chair is a rare example of functional elegance attributable to the vision of Gio Ponti, a master of modern Italian aesthetics. Crafted entirely of painted iron, its structure tells a story of art, architecture, and everyday life. The tubular iron backrest is distinguished by its sinuous and decorative lines: an interweaving of curves and soft geometries that evoke a sense of romantic lightness while maintaining structural solidity. The perforated grille seat, also in iron, features a refined crisscross pattern, a perfect blend of functionality and decorative flair. The slender, tubular legs give the chair a sober yet sophisticated presence, ideal for enhancing garden corners, verandas, or conservatories. The original paint, worn by time and the elements, has created a charming faded patina, revealing its long history with understated elegance. This chair is more than just a piece of furniture, but a witness to bygone eras, capable of harmoniously fitting into both classic and contemporary settings, bringing a touch of authenticity and poetry.
