The product was designed for domestic use as a case piece for lightweight materials. The upper shelf was made to hold light materials and is not to be considered a work top of any kind. Do not put hot dishware (plates, mugs, cups, glasses) in direct contact with the top surface. Do not step up on the item and the drawers. The invisible metal drawer runners have automatic return and a safety catch to prevent them falling out. The controlled closing runners have a cushioning system that stops the drawer hitting against the structure; the drawers slide lightly and silently thanks to a system of hardened steel bearings; the runners require no maintenance. Weight-bearing capacity of drawers is 25 kgs. Never open all the drawers at the same time. Keep it up off the floor to avoid damage to parts that rest on the floor. Any imperfections on hand brush painted parts should be tolerated, as these are normal features of the relative processing methods and surfaces. Do not try to do maintenance work on components of the product yourself, contacting you retailer if anything goes wrong. Never allow tops to remain in contact with water or other liquids, even for brief periods. Borders should not be placed in the vicinity of sources of heat over 45° C. Any odours given off by the product, when unwrapped, do not constitute a source of danger and disappear, when it is exposed to airy surroundings.

MAINTENANCE OF WOODEN PARTS

A soft dry cloth should be used to remove dust and surface marks can be removed using a cloth dampened with water, drying surfaces immediately with a soft cloth. Products containing acetone, bleach and solvents should be avoided, as should abrasive products, furniture wax and hard fibre cloths (linen and synthetics) which could ruin and/or scratch surfaces. All cleaning should be performed with great care, without exerting too much pressure and following the grain of the wood or brushstrokes of white areas. Exposure to direct sunlight may alter the colour of paint and wood.

MAINTENANCE OF METAL PARTS

In order to maintain the aesthetic characteristics of these finishes over time and avoid rust, regular, methodical and meticulous cleaning is necessary. For everyday maintenance, dust with a soft dry cloth. For greasy oily marks (fingerprints) we advise cleaning the surfaces with normal liquid detergents for glass. Products containing solvents and/or alcohol and hard fibre cloths (linen and synthetics) should be avoided, as they could ruin and/or scratch surfaces.

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.
