巴黎意大利設計大師吉奧·龐蒂回顧展-設計風向

已故的吉奧·龐蒂被認為是20世紀最有影響力的建築師和設計師之一，他於1979年去世，被譽為現代意大利設計之父。他的作品包括米蘭標誌性的皮瑞裏大廈、帕沃尼動力學咖啡機、maharam麵料以及cassina的leggera椅子。

considered one of the most influential architects and designers of the twentieth century, over the course of his fifty-year career, the late gio ponti, who died in 1979, would come to be known as the father of modern italian design. responsible for works including milan’s iconic pirelli tower, an aerodynamic coffee machine for pavoni, maharam fabrics and the leggera chair for cassina, his wide ranging body of work reflects on his life as a renaissance man, a polymath, and a multi-hyphenate.

他非凡多產的作品被全世界公認為是民主、現代和複雜的意大利設計的象征。他不僅塑造了那個時代的設計，而且還把它推廣到世界，將新的意大利設計風格帶到了委內瑞拉、美國和香港。如今，巴黎裝飾藝術博物館舉行了一場名為吉奧·龐蒂的回顧展，向法國和國際觀眾介紹這位意大利神話人物。

his extraordinary prolific work is recognized all over the world as symbolic of democratic, modern and sophisticated italian design. not only did he shape the design of the era but he also exported it to new world’s, taking new italian design style to venezuela, the USA, and hong kong. now, a new retrospective entitled tutto ponti, at the musée des arts décoratifs in paris – ponti’s first in france, introduces the mythic italian figure to french and international audiences.

1956年，吉奧·龐蒂完成了他最大的工程——皮瑞裏大廈，這是歐洲最高的建築，也是戰後意大利重建的象征。時至今日，它仍是現代主義建築的典範和意大利北部大都市的標誌。

in 1956, gio ponti completed his biggest project, the pirelli tower in milan, the tallest building in europe and a symbol of how far the country had come in its reconstruction after the war. today it still stands as a first-rate example of modernist architecture and an icon of italy’s northern metropolis.

在吉奧·龐蒂的一生中除了實現的偉大建築作品之外，他還在家具領域創造了大量的作品：如燈具、桌子、櫥櫃、地毯和吹塑玻璃吊燈，其中一些已經由意大利製造商和molteni& c展覽讚助商重新發行。輕盈、透明、清晰、色彩和簡潔，這些關鍵詞描述了上世紀50年代他在米蘭的總部創意實驗室所創造出的作品的特點，當時他設計了很多物品和家具，包括cassina的distex扶手椅(molteni&c從2012年重新發行)。1957年，世界上最輕的椅子之一superleggera 成為他家具設計的標誌。

more than just the great architectural works realised during his lifetime, gio ponti created a vast amount of work in the furniture sector. lamps, tables, cabinets, rugs, and blown-glass chandeliers, some of which have since been re-issued by italian manufacturer—and exhibition sponsor—molteni&c. lightness, transparence, clarity, color and simplicity: these are the key words that describe the profusion of activity coming out of his headquarters in milan during the 1950s – a veritable creative laboratory. he designed numerous objects and furniture pieces at this time, including the distex armchair for cassina (reissued since 2012 by molteni&c). in 1957, the chair superleggera (a variant of the leggera), one of the lightest in the world, became the icon of his furniture designs.

展覽由wilmotte & associés 和 italo lupi設計，展示了吉奧·龐蒂大約400件作品，追溯了他1921年開始的獨特成功故事。為了容納如此大量的作品，設計畫廊空間擴大到2100平方米，允許展出超過1000件作品。博物館館長兼展覽總策展人olivier gabet的協助和normal建築公司的設計共同完成了展覽翻新。

with an exhibition design by wilmotte & associés in collaboration with the graphic designer italo lupi, the retrospective displays approximately 400 works of gio ponti tracing his unique success story from 1921.to accommodate such a vast body of work the contemporary design galleries have been expanded the space to 2,100 square meters, allowing over 1,000 works to be displayed, some which have never been seen before. supervised by olivier gabet, museum director and chief curator of the exhibition, the refurbishment was realised in conjunction with the design and architectural firm normal studio who were supported by the various departments of the museum.

展覽在博物館的主廳舉行，每一展區由五個部分組成，每個展區的特色是家具、照明和紡織品以及建築項目，通過圖紙、模型、照片和電影按時間順序詳細介紹了那個時期。與此同時，畫廊展示他與richard ginori、christo e和fontana arte等主要藝術品製造商以及工匠和小型公司的合作。展覽的最後一部分是六個重建的不同工作房間，展示了他遍布全球的設計：巴黎的l’ange volant、米蘭的蒙特卡蒂尼大樓、帕多瓦大學、米蘭via dezza大道上的住宅、索倫托的帕科德普林西比酒店，以及加拉加斯的維拉別墅。

the exhibition is presented in the museum’s main hall, punctuated by five sections each one featuring major commissions, furniture, lighting and textiles, as well as architectural projects detailed chronologically through drawings, models, photographs and films from the period. meanwhile the garden- side gallery explores the collaborations that he undertook with major art-object manufacturers such as richard ginori, christo e and fontana arte, as well as with artisans and smaller companies. the final part of the exhibition is a reconstruction of six different rooms emphasizing the global aspect of his work: l’ange volant in the parisian aera, the montecatini building in milan, the palazzo bo – padua university, the designer’s own home on the via dezza in milan, the interior of the parco dei principi hotel in sorrento and nally the villa planchart in caracas.
