巴黎意大利设计大师吉奥·庞蒂回顾展-设计风向

已故的吉奥·庞蒂被认为是20世纪最有影响力的建筑师和设计师之一，他于1979年去世，被誉为现代意大利设计之父。他的作品包括米兰标志性的皮瑞里大厦、帕沃尼动力学咖啡机、maharam面料以及cassina的leggera椅子。

considered one of the most influential architects and designers of the twentieth century, over the course of his fifty-year career, the late gio ponti, who died in 1979, would come to be known as the father of modern italian design. responsible for works including milan’s iconic pirelli tower, an aerodynamic coffee machine for pavoni, maharam fabrics and the leggera chair for cassina, his wide ranging body of work reflects on his life as a renaissance man, a polymath, and a multi-hyphenate.

他非凡多产的作品被全世界公认为是民主、现代和复杂的意大利设计的象征。他不仅塑造了那个时代的设计，而且还把它推广到世界，将新的意大利设计风格带到了委内瑞拉、美国和香港。如今，巴黎装饰艺术博物馆举行了一场名为吉奥·庞蒂的回顾展，向法国和国际观众介绍这位意大利神话人物。

his extraordinary prolific work is recognized all over the world as symbolic of democratic, modern and sophisticated italian design. not only did he shape the design of the era but he also exported it to new world’s, taking new italian design style to venezuela, the USA, and hong kong. now, a new retrospective entitled tutto ponti, at the musée des arts décoratifs in paris – ponti’s first in france, introduces the mythic italian figure to french and international audiences.

1956年，吉奥·庞蒂完成了他最大的工程——皮瑞里大厦，这是欧洲最高的建筑，也是战后意大利重建的象征。时至今日，它仍是现代主义建筑的典范和意大利北部大都市的标志。

in 1956, gio ponti completed his biggest project, the pirelli tower in milan, the tallest building in europe and a symbol of how far the country had come in its reconstruction after the war. today it still stands as a first-rate example of modernist architecture and an icon of italy’s northern metropolis.

在吉奥·庞蒂的一生中除了实现的伟大建筑作品之外，他还在家具领域创造了大量的作品：如灯具、桌子、橱柜、地毯和吹塑玻璃吊灯，其中一些已经由意大利制造商和molteni& c展览赞助商重新发行。轻盈、透明、清晰、色彩和简洁，这些关键词描述了上世纪50年代他在米兰的总部创意实验室所创造出的作品的特点，当时他设计了很多物品和家具，包括cassina的distex扶手椅(molteni&c从2012年重新发行)。1957年，世界上最轻的椅子之一superleggera 成为他家具设计的标志。

more than just the great architectural works realised during his lifetime, gio ponti created a vast amount of work in the furniture sector. lamps, tables, cabinets, rugs, and blown-glass chandeliers, some of which have since been re-issued by italian manufacturer—and exhibition sponsor—molteni&c. lightness, transparence, clarity, color and simplicity: these are the key words that describe the profusion of activity coming out of his headquarters in milan during the 1950s – a veritable creative laboratory. he designed numerous objects and furniture pieces at this time, including the distex armchair for cassina (reissued since 2012 by molteni&c). in 1957, the chair superleggera (a variant of the leggera), one of the lightest in the world, became the icon of his furniture designs.

展览由wilmotte & associés 和 italo lupi设计，展示了吉奥·庞蒂大约400件作品，追溯了他1921年开始的独特成功故事。为了容纳如此大量的作品，设计画廊空间扩大到2100平方米，允许展出超过1000件作品。博物馆馆长兼展览总策展人olivier gabet的协助和normal建筑公司的设计共同完成了展览翻新。
