Recensione della mostra su Gio Ponti al MAD di Parigi

The essay shows the evolution of the design research of Gio Ponti,
artist, designer, architect, publisher, stage designer, founder, director
and publicist of the «Domus» magazines (1929) and «Lo Stile
nella casa e nell ’arredamento» (1941–1947). His creative work has
gas played a tremendous role in the Italian culture, it concernes the
most varied disciplines, interpreting the spirit of modernity with attention
to the social needs and education of a new taste and is linked
to Mediterranean culture.

FontanaArte presenta una vera e propria nuova idea di negozio reinventando lo spazio di Corso Monforte 13.
L’architetto Francesco Librizzi, nuovo direttore artistico della storica fucina milanese creata da Gio Ponti nel 1932, propone l’idea di un ‘mondo di carta’ tipicamente teatrale applicandolo al Flagship store.

‘Gio Ponti. Loving Architecture’ exhibition, running from 27 November 2019 until 13 April 2020 at MAXXI in Rome, has the merit to ‘give us back’ Gio Ponti as an architect, in place of Gio Ponti as designer and artist, in his dimension as a practicing architect but also in all his intellectual depth.
