Gio Ponti Armchairs for ISA Bergamo, Italy, 1952, Set of 2
Description
Gio Ponti armchairs for ISA Bergamo, sage green fabric and brass, Italy, 1952, set of 2
Created in 1952 for ISA Bergamo, these armchairs express Gio Ponti’s quiet mastery in shaping modern Italian comfort.
The tall, sculpted backrest and softly contoured arms define a silhouette that feels both protective and light: architectural, yet deeply inviting. Nothing is overstated. Every curve serves a purpose, every line holds tension. The brass legs lift the form with a subtle, almost graphic gesture, adding elegance without interrupting the visual flow.
These armchairs belong to the moment when Ponti was reshaping Italian domestic space—less formality, more ease; less monument, more atmosphere. They reflect his early 1950s approach to seating, where comfort becomes a matter of proportion and luxury is expressed through restraint rather than display.
Timeless without seeking to be iconic, these armchairs embody Gio Ponti’s design language at its most natural: calm, balanced, and unmistakably modern—still perfectly at home in contemporary interiors more than seventy years later.
