La Mano - the Hand - was born of a creative exchange of letters between Gio Ponti and silversmith Lino Sabattini, where in a simple sketch of a hand by Ponti was answered by a silver hand sculpture by Sabattini.
Formed from a single curved, stainless-steel sheet, this six-fingered hand captures Gio Ponti’s signature sense of irony and creative depth. Simultaneously whimsical and functional, the piece doubles as a sculptural statement and a jewelry holder. A celebration of craftsmanship and creative synergy, La Mano reaffirms Ponti’s belief that art is the most enduring element of design.

( Description )
La Mano by Gio Ponti came to life through a playful series of letters exchanged with silversmith Lino Sabbatini, who created the object in response to Ponti’s sketch of a six-fingered hand. What began in jest became one of Ponti’s most cherished creations. Both iconic and unexpected, La Mano embodies his irreverent spirit and unmistakable character.
