One of the most influential designers of the mid-20th century, Gio Ponti (1891-1979) helped to establish Italy as a global design center with a diverse career that spans architecture, industrial design , art, and even editing.

To start his career and establish his early influences, Ponti has partnered with Emilio Lancia and Mino Fiocchi architects in 1923. Meanwhile, his achievements included the house on Via Randaccio in Milan (1925) and the villa Bouilhet Garches, Paris (1926). After 1927, he is only associated with the Studio Ponti e Lancia Lancia PL.

Incredibly, the architecture was not the only area in which Ponti excelled in the 1920s During this time he also worked in the field of industrial design after its debut at the first Biennale of Decorative Arts in Monza.

Ponti also created a variety of lamps for companies like Artemide, Venini and Fontana Arte, with its diverse capabilities by conducting separate design goals for each project. One of the most famous lamps of this period, Billia is the lamp that is well known even today.

To date, the influence of Ponti is still evident in the fields of design and architecture to which he devoted his life.

Ponti's career was so diverse that it has left its mark on the world not only through the buildings that are still standing, but also within the artistic community, the sector of industrial design, and even publishers .
