Even more than 40 years after his death in 1979 at the age of 87, Gio Ponti's creations are highly sought after because they symbolize an elegance capable of withstanding time.

While it is true that the 150.5 chaise longue by Molteni takes inspiration from one of the most iconic and famous works among those created by Gio Ponti, all the other outdoor armchairs signed by the Milanese designer are also distinguished by a design with clean lines and harmonious proportions, an ergonomics of the forms carefully studied to ensure maximum comfort and the ability to adapt to a variety of contexts.
For all these reasons, the collections of the Milanese master have become symbols of excellence over time, bringing functionality, beauty and innovation to Molteni's design.
Gio Ponti's iconic design: the 150.5 outdoor chaise-longue
The 105.5 outdoor chaise longue by Molteni is one of the jewels designed by Gio Ponti during his career, made internationally unforgettable thanks to its iconic design and fascinating history.
The armchair was initially designed by Gio Ponti in 1952 for the cruise ship Andrea Doria, an unconventional environment that managed to stimulate all the designer's creativity.
Years later, through a collaboration with Gio Ponti Archives and the heirs of the Milanese architect, Molteni&C has reconstructed this famous seat as a tribute to the original work, creating a piece of furniture that aims first and foremost to meet the comfort and needs of those who will use it.
That's why the 105.5 outdoor armchair is designed to have a versatile soul, offering you the possibility to move it anywhere on your balcony or terrace, whether it's by a pool or near a green area.
Naturally, however, the chaise longue inspired by Gio Ponti's work is also distinguished by an aesthetic that has been studied down to the smallest detail.
For example, the line of the side design continues uninterruptedly joining the backrest, seat, armrest and footrest, emphasizing an elongated profile that recalls the original armchair and, with its soft lines, invites you to indulge in relaxation.
Another interesting peculiarity is then given by the radius of the angle between the seat and backrest, which is exactly the same as the one that Ponti indicated in the construction notes of the Distex seat designed in 1953, another model that Molteni&C reproposes today as D.153.1.
Beyond the glance at the aesthetic level, it will be impossible not to notice the high quality of the workmanship of the materials, evident in the use of solid teak that elegantly matches the fabric.
