Italian Brass Barware Set by Gio Ponti, 1950s

$1,700.00

An Italian brass bar tool set designed by Gio Ponti in the 1950s. This five piece collection includes a bottle opener, mixing spoon, ice tong, and long cocktail fork, perfectly fitted onto a petite tray. Engraved with ‘ITALY’ and PM logo on the bottom of the tray.

Gio Ponti, an eclectic visionary, immersed himself in architecture, painting, graphics, and set design from the outset. Graduating in architecture from the Milan Polytechnic in 1920, he co-founded the influential magazine Domus with editor Gianni Mazzocchi in 1926, directing it until his passing. In 1931, Ponti assumed the artistic direction at Luigi Fontana and, in 1932, founded Fontana Arte with Pietro Chiesa, leaving an indelible mark on modern design.
