Born in Milan in 1891, Gio Ponti attended the École Polytechnique from which he graduated in 1921. In 1928, he launched the magazine "Domus", dedicated to architecture and still published today. He soon became director of the Milan Biennale. He carried out numerous architectural projects throughout Italy. At the same time, Ponti created many design pieces, alone or in collaboration. One of his richest collaborations was with Piero Fornasetti. Gio Ponti, who died in 1979, is considered the icon of twentieth-century Italian architecture and design.
