Ginori 1735 Reinterprets the Gio Ponti Legacy: Catene and Labirinto in Ebano and Cachemire

At Milan Design Week 2025, Ginori 1735 honored Gio Ponti—architect, designer, and one of the 20th century's most visionary Italian creatives—by introducing updated editions of two iconic collections: Catene and Labirinto, now available in the new hues Ebano and Cachemire.

The new colorways draw directly from the aesthetic language of bourgeois Milanese interiors of the 1950s and 60s—warm, deep, restrained yet expressive. These were the spaces where Ponti developed his signature approach: balancing classical proportion with modern clarity, function with poetry. The same principles now define these reinterpreted collections.

Catene and Labirinto: Geometry with Character

Catene is built on the idea of a continuous line—a visual bridge between object and observer. Minimalist in execution, but never cold. Labirinto engages through rhythm: straight lines forming an endless maze, hypnotic in effect, enhanced by precise geometry and fine drawing. Both patterns carry Ponti's unmistakable graphic intelligence.

As part of the Arte Ginori line, the manufacture has reissued iconic decorative objects: bowls featuring the Catene di Chiavi motif, alongside numbered disks titled "Esorcismo" and "Amore degli Angeli." These pieces preserve Ponti's signature graphics—golden lines, figures, and symbols that feel both mystical and pure in their simplicity.

Available now at Archideco Interior Gallery, Riga, and online at archideco-interior.com.

For those who recognize that tableware is never just functional—that a table set with intention becomes a visual story about time, beauty, and the aesthetics of everyday life—Ginori 1735's Ponti reissues offer exactly what the manufacture has always excelled at: porcelain that performs.
