1950 bleached mahogany, lacquered wood, glass 45 w x 18 d x 18½ h in (114 x 46 x 47 cm)
During the early 1950s, Gio Ponti created sketches and maquettes featuring an ovoid table with a sculptural void. (See Gio Ponti Archives, Item No. 07045.) Due to the complex nature of the design, the table was not profitable for mass production and only a few related artisan-crafted examples were produced as Ponti refined his design. continue Sold with certificate of authenticity from Gio Ponti Archives. literature: Gio Ponti: The Complete Work 1923-1978 , Ponti, pg. 166 illustrates similar example Italienisches Mobeldesign, Klassiker von 1945 bis 1985 , Bangert, pg. 129 more
