Gio Ponti

Father of the design made in Italy, Gio Ponti is the greatest exponent of Italian rationalism. Sambonet deliveries his perfect-shape projects.

The charming centrepiece gives rise to a capsule collection dedicated to the Gio Ponti design. Sophisticated design objects that, in addition to perfect lines, feature trending colours to change the look of a table setting or simply to lend a character to any type of location. Unpublished up to 2013 - when Sambonet finally brought the project to light - the Centrepiece was immediately awarded the most prestigious international Design recognitions, soon becoming one of the most representative creations that the Master has dedicated to the table.

The Gio Ponti cutlery collection serves the best of Italian design at the table

Style, elegance and functionality come together in Gio Ponti cutlery for Sambonet. Discover the iconic collection born from the genius of one of the greatest architects and designers of the 20th century.

The biography of Gio Ponti, the father of Italian design

Gio Ponti was one of the most influential innovators in design and architecture of the 20th century. Born in Milan in 1891, he graduated in architecture at Milan Polytechnic in 1921 and began his professional career by associating with other Milanese architects. His first public debut is dated 1923 at the first Monza Biennial of Decorative Arts, which was followed by many participations in the following Monza and Milan Triennale. After considerable experience in ceramic manufacturing, he founded 'Domus' in 1928, still one of the most important and influential architecture magazines worldwide. From 1936 he was a professor at the Architecture Faculty of the Milan Polytechnic until his death in 1961.

The concept of design according to Gio Ponti

"Man's functionality and habits determine the shape of everyday objects".

Father of made-in-Italy design, Gio Ponti is the greatest Italian exponent of Rationalism: his constant architectural research finds extreme synthesis and formal balance in all his projects. Ponti has left an indelible mark on the history of design, thanks to his ability to combine functionality, aesthetics and innovation. His work ranges from the architecture of iconic buildings - such as the Pirelli Tower or 'Pirellone', the iconic skyscraper that contributed to defining Milan's skyline - to the creation of design objects which became true symbols of Italian excellence.

The designer cutlery by Gio Ponti

This cutlery collection designed by Gio Ponti for Sambonet is a perfect example of his vision. The introduction of clean lines, ergonomic shapes and a perfect balance between aesthetics and functionality are the key principles of his design. These cutlery items are not just tools for the table, but true design pieces that enrich the culinary experience. Made of high-quality stainless steel, Gio Ponti cutlery is a must-have for lovers of Italian design and elegance.

The other Sambonet collections that celebrate the genius of Gio Ponti

Immerse yourself in the timeless elegance of Italian design with the Gio Ponti collections for Sambonet. Enrich your table with iconic works of art that blend style, functionality and innovation:

  • Gio Ponti Conca: The rationalism that characterised all his designs is also present in the design of the cutlery, for which Ponti synthesised and exasperated the formal characteristics of the object.
  • Gio Ponti Centrepiece: Two individual cups with feet which, together, compose an almost perfectly spherical element. Separately, the cups can hold scenic fruit or flowers, but together they form a single, striking piece of architecture. 
  • Gio Ponti single-portion miniatures: Small masterpieces of design for flawless table settings. Ideal for desserts, hors d'oeuvres or finger food, they add an original touch to table service or as a precious decorative object.
  • Gio Ponti Tray: A design object made entirely from a single sheet of stainless steel folded on itself, cut and shaped to hold and serve at the same time.

Why Gio Ponti's design is still a must-have today

His work continues to influence generations of designers and architects, testifying to the importance of his vision in the world of contemporary design. Choosing Gio Ponti cutlery means embracing a piece of design history, appreciating the art of a master who knew how to combine beauty and functionality in an incomparable way.
