Design for the corner bar in the Villa
Planchart, Caracas, Venezuela,
1953–57.
Ink drawing with colored gouache,
mapping out the geometric patterns
in green, blue, gray, and purple.
Ponti delineated the two foldout
tables and the pivoting bar shelf, all
concealed behind a flat wood
surface painted with overlapping
triangles and trapezoids.
