The Due Foglie Sofa from Molteni&C’s Heritage collection, a standout of 2024, pays homage to Gio Ponti, an icon of Italian design. Inspired by Ponti’s 1954 design for Villa Planchart in Caracas, commissioned by Anala and Armando Planchart, the sofa, originally named Due Foglie for its curvilinear form resembling a pod and two leaves, now known as D.157.6 in the Gio Ponti Archive, graces the 2024 Collection. Its distinctive silhouette rests on a delicate trestle structure with a metallic finish, featuring a foam structure shaped by two molds. Italian fashion designer, Marta Ferri, has specially curated a collection of exclusive fabrics and leathers for this project, blending visual allure with quality and performance. Celebrating Molteni&C’s 90th year in 2024, this sofa embodies timeless elegance and a heritage of design innovation.

About The Designer

Giovanni “Gio” Ponti, (Milan, November 18, 1891 – Milan, September 16, 1979), is one of the Italian masters of architecture. He was also a designer and essayist and one of the most important of the twentieth century. Other than the great architectural works which carry his unmistakable signature, he created a vast amount of work in the furniture sector. This is demonstrated in his three Milanese houses which were fully furnished in the “Ponti” style. The houses in via Randaccio, 1925, Casa Laporte in via Brin, 1926 and the last in via Dezza, in 1957 is an “expression” of his home design ideas.
