Office Chair By Gio Ponti For Goodform, Circa 1950
Artist: Gio Ponti
An office chair designed by Gio Ponti and produced by GoodForm in the United States in the 1950s.
The design originated from research conducted by Gio Ponti for the interior design of the Montecatini building in Milan in 1936, an iconic project of Italian modernist architecture. It reflects the evolution of office furniture toward more ergonomic and functional forms.
The chair features a four-star swivel base made of cast aluminum, whose shape resembles a propeller, mounted on casters. The seat and backrest are padded and upholstered in black vinyl, supported by a metal frame. A mechanism allows for seat height adjustment.
This example retains its original GoodForm labels for the General Fireproofing Company, Youngstown, Ohio, as well as a metal plate bearing the reference numbers 1151 and Z-540.
Seat height: 49 cm.
Manufacturer: GoodForm for General Fireproofing Company, United States, circa 1950.
