This mid-century lovechair was inspired by designer Gio Ponti's trips to Latin America in the 1950s. A winner of the Wallpaper Design Award, today the armchair is one of Molteni&C's most beloved pieces. The shell-like structure envelops the sitter in a soft cushion which is one of three customizable components to personalize the chair in range of styles. A signature piece for a residential living space.

( Product Care )
Metal
In order to maintain the aesthetic characteristics of these finishes over time and avoid rust, regular, methodical and meticulous cleaning is necessary. For everyday maintenance, dust with a soft dry cloth. For greasy oily marks (fingerprints) we advise cleaning the surfaces with normal liquid detergents for glass. Products containing solvents and/or alcohol and hard fibre cloths (linen and synthetics) should be avoided, as they could ruin and/or scratch surfaces. Require monthly maintenance with specific metal cleaning/polishing products.
Chenille
For weekly cleaning, use a vacuum cleaner with soft brushes and a clothes brush along the direction of the pile. At regular intervals, after this procedure, we advise using an adhesive brush (eliminating detached threads), always in the direction of the pile. These procedures, carried out with care, limit the colour change effect due to the pile being flattened, keeping the fabric alive and maintaining through time its good looks and structure. To eliminate colour changes due to fabric flattening we advise using steam on the surfaces with an iron at 110°, always taking care to separate iron and fabric with a cloth. To eliminate more resistant or stubborn marks, vaporize the surface at a distance of about 5/10 cm and simultaneously brush respecting the direction of the fleece (generally from top to bottom) using a brush with soft fibers. If tide marks are caused by contact with liquids, dampen the whole surface of the upholstery (not just the tide mark area) using a household spray until the surface colour is uniform. Wait for the upholstery to dry naturally (do not use direct heat) and brush in the direction of the pile as mentioned above. If dry cleaning is necessary please refer to specialised firm, providing the technical reference sheet that comes along with the product itself.
( Designer )
Giovanni “Gio” Ponti is one of the Italian masters of architecture. A selection of his works are exclusively reproduced by Molteni&C in collaboration with the Gio Ponti Archives.
( Description )
Gio Ponti’s D.154.2 armchair captures the architect’s luminous spirit and masterful approach to form with its embracing, sinuous silhouette. The iconic armchair was born from a deeply personal project, the Villa Planchart in Caracas (1953-1957) - the private residence of art collectors Anala and Armando Planchart, which they commissioned Gio Ponti to design from top to bottom as both the architect and the interior designer.

D.154.2 ARMCHAIR GIO PONTI
VILLA PLANCHART CARACAS, VENEZUELA
The armchair’s structure features a rigid polyurethane frame paired with a softer counter-frame and cushion. This layering creates a cocoon-like comfort, with an interplay of textures and colors across the three components, each reflecting Ponti’s nuanced attention to detail and balance.
