D.157.6 - DUE FOGLIE

The D.157.6 Due Foglie sofa by Gio Ponti was first created in 1957 for Ponti’s stunning design for Villa Planchart in Caracas, commissioned by Anala and Armando Planchart, ardent admirers of Ponti’s diverse talents. The sofa, one of the villa's iconic features, is part of the Heritage Collection thanks to the collaboration with the Gio Ponti Archives.

The distinctive silhouette of the D.157.6, originally named Due Foglie due to its seamless curvilinear shape reminiscent of a pod and two elongated leaves, is supported by a delicate trestle structure with a metallic finish. The defining feature of the sofa is the foam structure, specially shaped by two molds. Beyond its striking aesthetic, this feature offers a unique seating experience: spacious and comfortable for one, yet conducive to the intimate conversations or quiet moments for two. 

Reviving the charm of a bygone era, the D.157.6 sofa exudes a timeless elegance and serves as a tangible expression of Italian design history.
