The PONTI 940 chairs designed by Gio Ponti in 1940 are an expression of the new modernist trends of that time.

In the 1930s, Ponti's style bore classical influences, but Ponti 940 represents a breakthrough. Flared legs and a rounded back and seat evoke classic harmonies, harmonized by clean-cut essential lines without compromising decoration. A blend of classic elegance and modern essentiality.
