Reflets d'amitié

Reflected in the brightness of the silver are the deep bonds of friendship that connected Gio Ponti and the owner of the Christofle company Tony Bouilhet.

Reflected in the brightness of the silver are the deep bonds of friendship that connected Gio Ponti and the owner of the Christofle company Tony Bouilhet.

They met in Paris in 1925 at the Exposition Internationale des Arts Décoratifs. Three years later Bouilhet married one of Ponti’s nieces. To coincide with the Furniture Fair, the Milan Triennale is hosting an exhibition dedicated to this important chapter of design history. The installation, curated by Italo Lupi, illustrates 25 of the objects produced in a creative journey that spanned over 50 years. Silvia Monaco
