Gio Ponti silver-plated coffee pot

Defined by a geometric handle and lipped spout, this Gio Ponti coffee pot has a modest elegance – typical of the late Italian designer. It was designed for the Hotel Kursaal Rimini, and produced with manufacturer Krupp Milano.

The coffee pot is in good condition, with light surface scuffs and wear relative to its age. A matching larger teapot is also available.

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.
