Gio Ponti six silver-plated cups

Pared back to its essential form, this set of silver plated six cups designed by Gio Ponti has a graceful simplicity in its silhouette. Designed for the Hotel Kursaal Rimini, the cups were produced with manufacturer Krupp Milano.

The six cups are in good condition, with light surface scuffs and wear relative to their age. 

Gio Ponti (1881-1979) was a Milanese architect, industrial and furniture designer, artist and publisher. He was a pivotal figure in the Italian design and manufacturing industry, founding Il Labirinto with Lancia, Buzzi, Marelli, Venini and Chiesa in order to produce high-quality furniture and objects. He also founded Domus magazine which helped contextualise and promote the work of Italian designers and manufacturers around the world. His work draws deeply on Italian traditions but always finds a modern edge.
