Additional Details

the scarce first complete survey and thematic profile on ponti, the prolific 20th century Italian architect, industrial and furniture designer, artist, teacher, writer, and publisher. From the Richard-Ginori chinaware and the founding of Domus magazine in the 1920s and '30s, to the Pirelli tower erected in Milan in the 1950s to the "facade" architecture of the '70s, Ponti has been a major force in the shaping of twentieth-century Italian design. With selected writings, extensive notes, biographical profile, bibliography, and chronologies of works, exhibitions, and more.
