BBB PONTI 940 Beech chair with padded seat

Designed by Gio Ponti in 1940, Ponti 940 is a beech chair with seat upholstered in leather, faux leather or fabric.‎ Ponti 940 expresses the new modernist tensions of the age: in the ‘30s the author’s style is still deeply influenced by classicism, but Ponti 940, the last version of a model already presented in 1933, marks a leap forward: the flared legs and the rounded back and seat recall classic harmonies, contained by clean-cut essential lines that make no concessions to decoration.‎  Ponti 940 has been in the BBB Icon Chairs collection since 2015, celebrated as a timeless icon of Italian design, and comes with original revisited finishes.‎ Distinguishing features are the rear groove on the structure, which gives the legs a unique contact with the ground, tapering upwards towards the backrest.‎ Classic elegance and modern essentiality.‎ Available options: PO40WO Beech / Beech stained walnut PO40TR Stain colours PO40OL Matt varnish and lacquer * Special colors Further info from manufacturer on PONTI 940 BBB
