Designed in 1953, the D.153.1 armchair is part of the furniture of Gio Pontis private house in via Dezza in Milan. This re-edition is produced by Italian furniture brand Molteni&C and is based on the original drawings from the Gio Ponti Archives.
Covers are available in two-coloured leather, or in Punteggiato velvet fabric, both styles are highly distinctive. The velvet fabric, originally designed by Ponti in 1934, reinterprets the age-old technique of velvet-weaving, bringing it up to date with contemporary patterns.
You can also choose the covers in any of the fabrics and leathers from the Molteni&C textile range, or you can provide your own fabric, subject to approval by Molteni. If you would like more information on the Molteni & C fabric collection, please contact our design team who can send out samples and discuss all the options with you in more detail. Legs are in heat-sealed steel with a satin brass finish. Feet in non-slip plastic.
