Gio Ponti 1954

In his long and productive collaboration with Olivari, Ponti focused on two types of approach to the design of handles. One was more organic, where the lever is offered to the hand’s grip as a sinuously modelled element. The other was inspired by geometric clarity, according to which the hand naturally adapts to the shape. The former led to independent forms that are more expressive and influenced by ergonomic requirements.
