Coffee table with metal-grid top,
1954.
Coffee table with metal-grid top,
made by Giordano Chiesa. Ponti
initially used this version for Villa
Arreaza in Caracas, with later
variations for the Alitalia offices in
New York and his own apartment in
Via Dezza. It was also put into a
small production for the Swedish
store, Ferdinand Lundquist, in 1955. Photo © Gio Ponti
