What are Gio Ponty's achievements?
Gio Ponti is the most influential designer in Italy. In his early years, he was influenced by neoclassicism. Later, his design style gradually tended to modernism, creating elegant and effective designs. In 1930s, he enjoyed a high reputation in the fields of furniture design, lamps design and interior decoration design, especially the lamps and simple chairs he designed. 1934, he designed a building with modernist style for the building of Mathematics College in Rome University Town. From 1955 to 1958, he designed the Pirelli building in Milan, which is the representative of his elegant modernist design style. The 32-story Pirelli building was originally the headquarters of the famous Italian company Pirelli, but it was later used for other purposes. The slender skyscraper highlights the glass curtain wall, which tapers towards the top, while the interior is surrounded by the simple structural center of reinforced concrete. The architectural forms and structures are closely arranged, exquisite and beautiful, which broke through the popular plate and square architectural forms in the United States at that time and showed great originality. This work established Gio Ponty's lofty position as a designer with world influence. As early as 1928, he founded the influential magazine Dohms. From 194 1 to 1947, another influential design magazine Style was edited and published. The merger of the two magazines 1947 greatly enhanced the influence of Dohms. Gio Ponty has done a lot of work to promote the emergence of new Italian design language, and strongly emphasizes the application of organic graphics and curve modeling in decorative design.
