Gio Ponti & Giulio Minoletti Love Seat
Giulio Minoletti trained as an architect in Milan and spent his career moving fluidly between buildings, trains and ships — he designed the interiors of the ocean liner Andrea Doria and the celebrated Settebello express, work that earned him a Triennale Gold Medal. His collaborations with Gio Ponti, one of Italy's most consequential twentieth-century designers, produced Italian mid-century furniture with the same confident sense of scaleand silhouette as their architectural work. This love seat carries that pedigree in its exaggerated wingback profile — a high, sculptural spine that tapers into slender legs — upholstered in the original silk and wool stripe, with neat button detailing along the seam. A matching pair of Gio Ponti high-back lounge chairs is also available, making it possible to assemble a complete set from the same design lineage.
