Pompei centerpiece designed by Gio Ponti in 1956 exclusively produced for the first time by Molteni&C with the Ponti Archives in 2025 for the Gio Ponti Objects collection handmade in Italy, signed on reverse.
Crafted from folded and curved metal sheets, featuring seven tubes of varying lengths that converge into a single, compact base. The entire striking structure rests on just three support points, reflecting Ponti’s fascination with architectural balance and tension. When oriented with the tubes facing upward, it functions as an artistic vase or a multilevel candle holder. When flipped upside down, it serves as a purely decorative, geometric centerpiece. In excellent condition, showing minimal wear. Retails for $1450 get it half off here, It's a spectacular piece.
