Gio Ponti walnut, parchment, and brass console or dressing table, Italy, 1930s

Creator: Gio Ponti
Offered by: Linea Gallery

Description
Console in American walnut, parchment, and brass, designed by Gio Ponti in the 1930s and produced in Italy.

Supported by elegant triangular feet in polished metal, this console designed by Gio Ponti stands out for its refined combination of three materials, creating a distinctive and timeless aesthetic.

The structure of the piece, crafted from American walnut with intense tones, harmoniously complements the warm color of the parchment covering the fronts of the drawers. Finished with polished brass accents, it attests to the artisanal care in its making. Special attention is deserved by the finely turned brass knobs, details of refined elegance.

The architectural lines of the console, with an almost futuristic aura, fit into the context of the stylistic study that characterized the 1930s, a period of fervent exploration in art and industrial production. Originally conceived to furnish a bedroom, it can also serve independently as a decorative element, a dressing table, or a small writing desk in various domestic settings. Perfectly paired with the round walnut and parchment mirror, it completes a suggestive entryway or bedroom set.

This piece of furniture, originating from the 1930s, embodies the genius of Gio Ponti during his collaboration with Luigi Fontana & Co., the predecessor of Fontana Arte in the field of designer furniture.

With its dimensions of 130x40x68.5 cm, this console also fits perfectly into contemporary furnishings, maintaining the timeless charm of the finest pieces of historical Italian design.

Period photographic documentation and certification from the Ponti archive confirm the authenticity and unique characteristics of this piece of furniture.
