Gio Ponti’s “Love chair”
An armchair that features a ‘cosy shell’ design, conceived for one of the projects closest to Gio Ponti’s heart: the villa of the Planchart collectors in Caracas (1953-57).
Today the armchair has a rigid polyurethane frame, a soft polyurethane counter-frame and a cushion, and is upholstered in the Molteni&C textile range, with the option of differentiating the three component parts. In 2016 this "love chair" won the prestigious Wallpaper Design Awards and became a Molteni&C icon.
“I dedicated myself heart and soul to designing Villa Planchart,
and in it I was at liberty to express my own approach to architecture, both outside and inside”
Gio Ponti, 1955
