Dezza 60th Anniversary Limited Edition | Armchair

Gio Ponti

Dezza 60th Anniversary Limited Edition is an upholstered armchair with a typically modernist design, elegant and essential. The squared lines of the seat are balanced by the elegant curved armrests that follow the entire profile of the armchair to the legs, giving the piece a sense of lightness and dynamism. Dezza 60th Anniversary Limited Edition has a solid wood frame and is upholstered in Pelle Frau® Impact Less. The upholstery in the colors Panna and Iris reproduces an original, unpublished illustration by the famous Milanese architect and designer Gio Ponti: a motif of 26 stylized hands, each different from the other and each with its name and characteristic: “the gloved hand,” “the starry hand,” “the rotating hand,” “the fortune-teller’s hand,” and so on. Each piece is accompanied by a signed certificate of authenticity, individually numbered, and marked with a metal tag placed on the back of the armchair.

Concept and Design

Designed by Gio Ponti for Poltrona Frau in 1965, the Dezza armchair has preserved its modernity over the years. Among the most beloved iconic armchairs by Poltrona Frau, Dezza has remained in production, and for its sixtieth anniversary, it is presented in a particularly sophisticated reissue, with an exclusive upholstery taken from an unpublished design by the great Milanese architect and designer, representing many different hands. A playful artistic touch evoking the craftsmanship and “intelligence of the hands” with which the chair itself is constructed, one of the key values of the Poltrona Frau brand. Dezza 60th Anniversary Limited Edition, in a limited edition of only 60 individually numbered and certified pieces, will be available starting from February 13, 2025, exclusively online for purchase only on the Poltrona Frau e-shop, in the main European markets.

Gio Ponti

An architect, a designer and an artist, Gio Ponti (Milano 1891-1979) graduated in Milan in 1921 and initially entered into partnership with Emilio Lancia and Mino Fiocchi from 1927 to 1933. In 1927 he founded Il Labirinto with Lancia, Buzzi, Marelli, Venini and Chiesa in order to produce high-quality furniture and objects. From 1923 to 1930 he has been Richard Ginori’s artistic director. Thanks to the creation of Domus magazine in 1928 (which he presided over almost constantly until his death), Ponti made an intensive contribution to the renewal of the Italian production in the sector, giving it new impetus. Ponti has been a strong supporter of the Monza Biennale, then the Milan Triennale, of the Compasso d’Oro awards and of ADI (Association of Industrial Design). As an architect, he created the symbol of modern Milan, the Pirelli skyscraper, designed with Fornaroli, Rosselli and Nervi in 1956. In 1951, he realised the second Palazzo Montecatini (his first office building dates back to 1938-39). In 1957 he designed the super-celebrated Superleggera chair for Cassina, the crowning achievement of a long and fruitful working association. To his planning activities, he added educational activities, teaching at the Faculty of Architecture in Milan from 1936 to 1961.
