This year the Molteni&C Collection designed by Gio Ponti is enriched with the D.355.1-D.355.2 hanging bookcase, an object that the great Milanese architect was to re-design several times over the years, re-fashioned in the version for his Via Dezza house in Milan, with an elmwood finish, hand-painted white, 240 or 195 cm long, with two partitions that recall the bookcase in the 2013 Molteni&C catalogue.

Gio Ponti

Giovanni “Gio” Ponti, (Milan, November 18, 1891 - Milan, September 16, 1979), is one of the Italian masters of architecture. He was also a designer and essayist and one of the most important of the twentieth century. Other than the great architectural works which carry his unmistakable signature, he created a vast amount of work in the furniture sector. This is demonstrated in his three Milanese houses which were fully furnished in the “Ponti” style. The houses in via Randaccio, 1925, Casa Laporte in via Brin, 1926 and the last in via Dezza, in 1957 is an "expression" of his home design ideas.
