Gio Ponti lovers take note. Several pieces designed by the iconic Italian architect/furniture designer/artist are being reissued by Molteni & C in conjunction with Studio Cerri & Associates, and our very own Smink is presenting the collection here in Dallas.
To celebrate, Smink is hosting a Gio Ponti opening reception tonight from 5-8 p.m, enabling all you design lovers to get a first peek at the collection, which includes, among other sleek pieces, that otherworldly two tone leather and stain finish brass beauty above and the elm essence of drawers – a chest in two sizes featuring different wood handles in elm, Italian walnut, mahogany, and rosewood upholstery. The reception will also feature a hosted talk by Heritage Auction House on the work, style, and influence of Gio Ponti and aperitifs and appetizers by Local’s Tracy Miller.
In case you need further incentive to see the pieces in person, consider this tidbit from Smink’s lovely Jennifer Smink: “There are only six dealers worldwide who are showing the setup. In the US it will be available in NYC, Dallas, and L.A. So it should be a very collectible series…”
See you there.
