Made in collaboration with the Gio Ponti Archives and the heirs of the renowned Milanese architect. Molteni&C reconstructs one of the rare pieces of furniture Gio Ponti designed for outdoor use: the D.150.5 chaise longue projects for the cruise ship Andrea Doria in 1952. Characterised by two distinctive features: the first is the continuous line of the side design that unites the different parts (backrest, seat, armrest, footrest) in a single stroke, marking the elongated profile of the armchair in accordance with the Pontian principle. The second detail is the radius of the angle between the seat and the backrest, which is identical to that of Ponti's precisely stated in the construction notes of the '53 Distex now issued by Molteni&C as D.153.1.
