GIO PONTI - An architect and a designer, Gio Ponti is famous for designing homes, public buildings, and everyday objects, but he also distinguished himself in the world of painting and stage design. 
During the 1930s, he conceived some of the most emblematic buildings in Milan that reflect the new architectural trends of the period: the home-tower in Corso Venezia, the Rai and Ferrania buildings, and the Littoria Tower in Parco Sempione. 
In 1956, Ponti designed the Pirelli skyscraper and then dedicated himself to important residential complexes in Europe, the Middle East, Canada, the US, and South America. He began his collaboration with VENINI in the 1920s and created several lamps and objects for the brand. 

In the alchemy of the Murano furnace, glass becomes an object and encapsulates the magic of a tradition built on gestures and secrets. This heritage has been constantly renewed over more than 100 years of history, thanks to collaborations with acclaimed artists and designers on the international scene. Their creative vision has been translated by VENINI into unique works of art. Among the most significant collaborations, the partnership with Gio Ponti has undoubtedly left an indelible mark on the brand’s journey. The desire to bring a stylistic renewal while remaining faithful to the high craftsmanship of Italian tradition forms the solid foundation of the collaboration between VENINI and Gio Ponti, which resulted in the conception of a wealth of projects. With the aim of paying tribute to this creative liaison, VENINI has chosen to present a collection of reissues of products designed by the architect in the late 1940s
