A 1950s GIO PONTI DESK, with six drawers, on brass feet, with a certificate of authenticity from the Gio Ponti Archives. 76cm x 121cm x 61cm When anyone speaks about Gio Ponti, both as man and designer, two phrases are used consistently: joy de vivre and la dolce vita. They describe a career that encompassed everything: architecture, ceramics, industrial design, interiors, painting, writing, teaching, poetry and, significantly, editing Europe’s leading design and architecture magazine, Domus. Irrepressible, impassioned and exceedingly generous, Gio Ponti is regarded today as the major coalescing force behind the golden age of 20th century Italian design.Having graduated in architecture in 1921 from Milan Polytechnic, Ponti worked as artistic director for ceramics manufacturer, Richard-Ginori, where he laid the grounds for the kind of industrialised production lines for which post-war Milan was to become known. While at Ginori, Ponti founded Domus, which, but for a break of six years, he went on to edit for the rest of his working life. It would prove not only a mouthpiece for his own ideas and beliefs, but also for those of his fellow designers, and its importance in terms of launching careers, drawing attention to movements, and elaborating on certain design ideas is difficult to overestimate. Influenced by the Wiener Werkstatte, by traditional folk-craft imagery, and by his reading of classical forms, the mainly porcelain pieces, with their stylised imagery of nature, people and pastimes, earned Ponti a Grand Prix at the 1925 Exposition des Arts Decoratifs, an event that was to act as a catalyst for the subsequent Art Deco movement. Ponti championed the ideals of rationalism referring to his Superleggera chair as ‘chair...with no adjectives, that is to say just a chair, but light, slender and reasonable.’ He was also drawn to the baroque, the surreal, the futuristic. This fascination with a wide range of design styles and movements is evident in Gio Ponti’s work, chief among which are the decorative and colour saturated blown-glass pieces for Venini, his furniture and interior designs for Fornasetti and numerous projects for the likes of Fontana Arte, Artemide, Cassina and Kardex Italiano. Throughout his working life, Gio Ponti was the recipient of numerous awards. He taught architecture at his alma mater, Milan Polytechnic for nearly 30 years, and during that time produced important architectural projects which matched his work in the field of industrial design, most notably the 1956 Pirelli Tower in Milan. He died at home, in 1979. He remains a monumental figure in 20th century Italian design.

A.L.S., John Nash, one page, 4to, Pavilion, Brighton, 30th October 1819, to a gentleman. Nash states 'The bearer is a man of very excellent character is a candidate to succeed to the management of the Brewery at Greenwich Hospital' and continues 'he is a millwright as well as Brewer & which I apprehend will be a very desirable additional qualification in a business which has so much to do with mills, pumps and other machinery', further adding that he is anxious to secure the appointment on their behalf and will consider it a personal favour. With blank integral leaf. A contemporary note to the verso indicates that Lord Melville had already filled the post before Nash's letter was received. Some very light, extremely minor age wear and a small, light, circular stain only very slightly affecting a few words of text, but not the signature, otherwise VG Robert Dundas (1771-1851) 2nd Viscount Melville. British Statesman who served as First Lord of the Admiralty from 1812-27 and 1828-30. Greenwich Hospital was a permanent home for retired sailors of the Royal Navy from 1692-1869. Today it is known as the Old Royal Naval College and is the architectural centrepiece of Maritime Greenwich. At the time of the present letter Nash was working on the Royal Pavilion at Brighton, extending the original building in 1815 and completing his work in 1822.
