Gio Ponti Round Coffee table in Brass and walnut

Creator: Gio Ponti -Giordano Chiesa
Offered by: Hobbs Modern

Description
A rare and exceptional example of Italian mid-century modern design, this sculptural round coffee table was designed by Gio Ponti circa 1954 and crafted in Italy by Giordano Chiesa. Elegant, architectural, and unmistakably Ponti, the table captures the lightness, balance, and poetic modernism that defined his most celebrated work.

The base is beautifully constructed in rich walnut, formed by four sharply tapered legs that meet in a striking geometric configuration beneath the glass. At the feet, refined brass caps stamped “Made in Italy” provide both a visual accent and a hallmark of authenticity — a subtle but meaningful detail cherished by collectors.

The circular beveled glass top rests lightly on the walnut structure, fully removable and designed to emphasize transparency and airiness — a recurring Ponti theme, allowing light to move through the form rather than sit atop it. The proportions feel effortless and well-resolved, making the piece both sculptural and highly functional as a centerpiece.

A superb and museum-worthy work, this coffee table represents not only Ponti’s design genius, but also the elegance and innovation of Italian modernism at mid-century.

A refined statement piece for collectors, architects, and design-driven interiors.
