This prodigious volume features unpublished materials and candid imagery offering exciting new insight into both his well-known masterpieces and more obscure feats alike., TASCHEN comes through with Gio Ponti... Think of it not as a book but as a vehicle for an incredible journey., The book is full of revelations. But for those who know Ponti for his architecture and his furniture, the real surprise is the ways they came together in rooms that display his seemingly endless supply of creativity., Gio Ponti offers a technicolor glimpse into the life and work of the godfather of Milanese design., The most resistant element is not wood, is not stone, is not steel, is not glass. The most resistant element in building is art. Let's make something very beautiful., There's an irony here, that a prince of lightness such as Ponti should be remembered with something so massive, but it's hard to do justice to his output in any other way... It successfully captures Ponti's spirit., ...an absolute beauty about the refined Italian architect-designer who defined a vein of elegant, uncontroversial mid-century chic.

Synopsis
Also available as Art Edition (No. 1-1,000) including an exclusive, square format reproduction of the Arlecchino coffee table and a set of four numbered ocean liner interior prints. To study Gio Ponti 's prolific body of work is to appreciate the clear, unifying vision behind a complex creative universe . A synthesis of the arts, his creations expand intuitively with the Italian grandeur and studied lightness that defined his iconic style. Ponti's rare capacity to move seamlessly between scales allowed him to approach the design of a teaspoon with the same conviction as he did an entire city. He was as much an architect and designer as he was a publisher, poet, and man. A treasure in its own regard, his contribution is also a distinctive landmark of Italy's mid-century Renaissance and the modernist values it sought to realize. This is the most comprehensive account of Ponti's work to date , unprecedented in scale and scope. It tracks the development of his oeuvre over 6 decades, with 136 projects indexed and reproduced in high resolution, each object framed by the context in which Ponti had created it. Like windows onto his elusive life, unpublished materials and candid imagery create new dialogues between his famous masterpieces and his lesser-known feats . A rich layer of texts, featuring an extensive biographical essay by Stefano Casciani, was produced in close collaboration with the Gio Ponti Archives offering an intimate insight on his life's work. Materializing Ponti's core philosophy of modernity, this book presents architecture as a performing object, a "self-illuminating" stage for his humanistic art de vivre and boundless creativity., Also available as Art Edition (No. 1-1,000) including an exclusive, square format reproduction of the Arlecchino coffee table and a set of four numbered ocean liner interior prints.

Shaped in close collaboration with Ponti's grandson Salvatore Licitra , founder of the Gio Ponti Archives, Gio Ponti is an immersive book scaled to his kaleidoscopic universe, featuring texts by Lisa Licitra Ponti and an extensive biographical essay by Stefano Casciani. An unprecedented tribute to Ponti's achievements as ingenious publisher as well as timeless creator, the images and texts of this compelling XL rendition draw its reader closer to his work than ever before.
