On the occasion of the London Design Festival this year, Molteni&C|Dada collaborate with Kvadrat to present an exhibition with the theme chosen this year by Brompton District “Other Stories – alternative perspectives on design” exploring design from different angles than the conventional industry perspective and looking at topical issues.
In honour of the legendary Italian architect and designer Gio Ponti, Molteni&C|Dada and Kvadrat present “Amare Gio Ponti” a documentary movie by Molteni&C, accompanied by a modern reinterpretation of a selection of Gio Ponti’s greatest work presented by Vincent Van Duysen and upholstered in fabrics from the Kvadrat/Raf Simons collection. These fabrics have been chosen in collaboration with Gio Ponti Archives using different colours and patterns to pay tribute to the architects’ aesthetic.
Amare Gio Ponti
by Francesca Molteni in partnership with
Salvatore Licitra | Gio Ponti Archives
A portrait of Gio Ponti the man and the architect, aspiring painter, promotor ante litteram of Italian design who, in a career spanning more than fifty years, experimented tirelessly with everything – arts, crafts, objects, architecture and materials – from the small to the large, from designing a handle to creating a town planning scheme.
