New Book on Gio Ponti


For anyone interested in twentieth-century design, Ugo La Pietra's new book Gio Ponti is an exciting must-have. Revealing the vast scope of Ponti's output, the book offers an account of a design practice that stretched from cars to furniture, and interiors to buildings. Arranged by decade, La Pietra's text gives a view into the changes and continuities that characterised 60 years of highly influential work.

Published by Rizzoli, Gio Ponti is a beautifully designed book; full of vividly-reproduced photographs, drawings, plans and architectural elevations. The publishers have also chosen their typography and typesetting with flair, with fantastic graphic design working to recall the mid-century aesthetic that the book's subject so brilliantly describes.

A real treat, this title has just arrived in stock and is available at only £45.00.
