TEAK

Teak is a compact hardwood from tropical and subtropical forests in south and south-east Asia. It features a warm yellow to burnished hue enhanced by red nuances, which enliven it and make it soft to the eye. It is the outdoor wood par excellence, a longstanding choice in the nautical industry, confirming its resistance to water and extreme
weather. Due to its ability to withstand temperature fluctuations and humidity, its greatest expression is found when used as solid wood to create refined woodworking details.

GENERAL INFORMATION

Cleaning should be done preferably under cloudy skies or in the shade. Ensure that the furniture is cool before starting. Do not use abrasive sponges, steel brushes, or abrasive/caustic cleansers. Do not use steam cleaners or pressure washers. Always try to remove food residue or spilled drinks, fallen leaves, berries, flowers, and bird droppings as soon as possible to prevent stains and mould.

STORAGE

Carefully clean items before storing them. Make sure the product is perfectly dry. Store in a dry, unheated, ventilated room, and never use airtight plastic covers.

Giovanni “Gio” Ponti, (Milan, November 18, 1891 - Milan, September 16, 1979), is one of the Italian masters of architecture. He was also a designer and essayist and one of the most important of the twentieth century.
Other than the great architectural works which carry his unmistakable signature, he created a vast amount of work in the furniture sector. This is demonstrated in his three Milanese houses which were fully furnished in the "Ponti" style. The houses in via Randaccio, 1925, Casa Laporte in via Brin, 1926 and the last in via Dezza, in 1957 is an "expression" of his home design ideas. Gio Ponti was an Italian promoter of industrial design and introduced the idea of interior furnishing ranges produced as being a "sophisticated," economic, "democratic" and modern.
Molteni&C managed a reissuing project of furniture and furnishings designed by Gio Ponti for products for these private homes and limited editions. After a long journey of research, selection and study of prototypes, the collection was exhibited at the Salone del Mobile 2012. This was thanks to the cooperation and the exclusively signed agreement of the Ponti heirs and the artistic director of Cerri & Associati Studio.
