Gio Ponti (1891–1979) was an influential Italian architect, industrial designer, and artist, known for his pioneering work in modernist architecture and design. He was a key figure in shaping 20th-century Italian design, blending classical influences with modern aesthetics.

Ponti was born in Milan and studied architecture at the Polytechnic University of Milan, where he later became a professor. His career spanned multiple disciplines, including architecture, furniture design, ceramics, and graphic arts. He is perhaps best known for his designs of the Piazza del Duomo in Milan, the Montecatini Building (a modernist skyscraper), and the Superleggera chair for Cassina, which became an iconic piece of Italian furniture design.

Ponti's career was marked by collaboration with several important companies such as Alessi, Cassina, and Richard Ginori, influencing industrial design through his functional yet aesthetically refined approach.
