Giordano Chiesa Side Tables
As a master cabinetmaker and furniture craftsman, Giordano Chiesa produced beautiful mid-century modern pieces, largely in collaboration with Italian starchitect and designer Gio Ponti.
Although the pair had a long history of collaboration, their work for stylish mid-century Italian hotels stands out. In the mid-1950s, Ponti and Chiesa teamed up with manufacturer Dassi Lissone to create streamlined walnut and brass furniture for the Royal Hotel in Naples, including headboards, side tables and wardrobe doors for each room. A decade later, the duo designed sleek, blue formica-surfaced ashwood writing desks, dressers and headboards, for the Hotel Parco dei Principi in Rome.
Chiesa produced Ponti’s sculptural glass-topped coffee table, which features artistically aligned maple legs and slats to form a sort of grid as its base. Similar to Ponti’s no. 1101 coffee table for Singer and Sons, Chiesa and Ponti’s table rivals the more famous design in its eloquence and craftsmanship.

Gio Ponti Round Coffee Table in Walnut Wood Italian Manifacture 1940s
By Gio Ponti
Located in Montecatini Terme, IT
Round shaped coffee table with three legs, in walnut wood and brass details.
Attribuited to Gio Ponti, Italian manufacture from the late 1940s to the early 1950s
Gio Ponti was an icon of the modernist movement: the Italian designer, architect, artist and publisher contributed significantly to the worlds of architecture and design with his extensive work in fine furniture and ceramics, education, office and residential buildings, and everything in between.
Giovanni, known as Gio Ponti was born in 1891 in Milan. It was there that he spent his childhood, and in 1921 he began to study architecture at the Politecnico di Milano. From 1923 to 1930 he served as the artistic director of the Richard-Ginori porcelain factory. In 1927, Ponti started his first architectural office, together with Emilio Lancia, and in 1928 he started the magazine Domus, which is still regarded as one of the most influential European magazines for architecture and design. He was also very influential during the period as a curator of the Milan Triennale.
After his collaboration with Emilio Lancia had come to an end, upon completion of the Torre Rasini, he began to work as an architect together with the engineers Antonio Fornaroli and Eugenio Soncini...
