Gio Ponti’s 1955 “Distex” armchairs capture his genius for angular geometry and absolute comfort. The sculptural walnut frames feature sharp, faceted profiles that cut an architectural line through space, softened by plush velvet upholstery. An iconic, museum-grade pair that defines 1950s Italian modernism.
