TONDO D.154.5
Gio Ponti concepì la sedia Round nei primi anni '50, in un momento in cui il design italiano si stava ridefinendo con nuova fiducia. Il decennio postbellico portò non solo nuovi materiali ma anche una nuova sensibilità, che trovava la bellezza nella leggerezza, nell'arguzia e nella proporzione raffinata.
La D.154.5 distilla quello spirito in un'unica forma coesa. La sua silhouette arrotondata non è né decorativa né arbitraria; riflette la convinzione di Ponti che una sedia debba possedere una propria identità, considerata come un'opera di architettura. Il design originale attingeva al Vipla, un tessuto innovativo dell'epoca, e la stessa attenzione alle possibilità materiche si ritrova nella riedizione.
- Rieditata da Molteni&C in stretto dialogo con gli Archivi Gio Ponti
- Disponibile in un'ampia gamma di configurazioni di rivestimento e finitura
- Adatta sia ad ambienti residenziali che contract
La produzione di Ponti spaziava dall'architettura agli oggetti industriali, eppure la sedia rimase uno dei suoi soggetti più personali. La sedia Round si distingue come una delle sue risposte più risolte a questa preoccupazione che lo accompagnò per tutta la vita.

What is the historical context of this chair design?
Ponti developed this chair during the postwar period, a time of material experimentation and renewed design optimism in Italy. The use of Vipla, an innovative synthetic fabric of the era, allowed for shapes and forms that would have been difficult to achieve with earlier materials.
Is the Round D.154.5 available in custom upholstery?
Yes. Molteni&C offers the Round D.154.5 in a broad range of upholstery options and finishes, making it adaptable to a variety of interior contexts while preserving the integrity of Ponti's original form.
Is this chair appropriate for contract or hospitality projects?
The Round D.154.5 is suitable for both residential and contract applications. Its considered proportions and the quality of Molteni&C's production make it a practical choice for hospitality and institutional environments that require both durability and design rigor.
How does Molteni&C approach the reissue of Gio Ponti's designs?
Molteni&C works directly with the Gio Ponti Archives to ensure that reissued pieces remain faithful to the original drawings and intent. This process involves archival research and close attention to construction details, preserving the character of the work without arbitrary revision.
