Gio Ponti armchair from the 1960s

Wingback armchair in rattan in the style of Gio Ponti, made by Bonacina, Italy, 1950s/60s. This wingback armchair in rattan directly evokes the iconic creations of Gio Ponti designed for Italian liners (including the legendary Andrea Doria), produced at the time by the Bonacina company in Lurago d’Erba — a key reference for Italian rattan. The high fan-shaped backrest, sculpted form, and wide circular base are typical of this "nautical" style: light, airy, designed to combine elegance and functionality on board. The weaving displays a beautiful honey patina, the result of decades of natural aging. A piece with a soul — whether it truly comes from the fleet or is simply loved for its mid-century maritime glamour. Condition: good for its age, weaving intact, natural signs of wear.
