Interior of Villa Arata, Naples, 1952.
The double reception room’s
furniture was all designed by Ponti
and made by Cassina, 1950. Ponti’s
“organized wall” unit was made by
Giordano Chiesa in 1952, and was
filled with ceramics by Fausto
Melotti, as well as by Ponti for
Richard-Ginori. In the dividing wall,
resting on the ledge of the interior
window, are Ponti’s glass tumblers
with a Fulvio Bianconi bottle, all by
Venini, 1948. The ceramic floor tiles
were made by Gabbianelli, 1950.
