Molteni&C Bottiglie Decorative Objects Designed by Gio Ponti

Bottiglie by Molteni&C represents a poetic reinterpretation of the everyday, a decorative object born from the visionary mind of Gio Ponti.

Originally conceived as scenographic elements for exhibition settings, these turned wooden bottles do not have the practical function of containing, nor are they merely abstract shapes: they are reinvented domestic symbols, theatrical instruments born to evoke intimacy and warmth. Their pure lines and elegant proportions dialogue with space, suggesting a new way of living, where even what is seemingly just decoration has a deeper meaning. The natural grain of the wood becomes an integral part of the design, replacing all ornamentation with the intrinsic beauty of the material itself. Each bottle stands out for its uniqueness, thanks to the unrepeatable texture of the wood and the craftsmanship that gives it an almost sculptural character. Placed in a home or exhibition setting, they add a sense of memory and theatricality, celebrating Ponti's vision of a home not only to be lived in, but also to be imagined.
