Gio Ponti, choose to hand brush the artifact with the "Lustro" technique because of it's iridescent metallic effect which brings lightness, which characterizes his works: as the "L'infinito Blu" and his icon diamond shape - ceramic tiles which covers all his buildings like Denver Art Museum / facede of the mall Bijenkorf Holland / Montecatini Milano etc..
