Gio Ponti at the Design Museum

Essentially an architect, he also promoted others: his own highly influential journals ‘Domus' and ‘Stele' were a window on to the world's latest, most vibrant visual ideas and bore witness to his own incessant growth and reinvention. Whatever the building material it was the art which made it durable and timeless, leading Ponti to declare that “the past does not exist because I consider everything in our culture to be simultaneous”.
