Molteni&C Cavallo 1 Decorative Object Designed by Gio Ponti

Horse 1 by Molteni&C is a decorative object that combines memory, design and craftsmanship in an essential yet evocative form.

Inspired by the language oforigami, this metal horse represents the magic of a single fold transformed into a figure, creating a shiny silhouette that recalls childhood imagery and the archetypal figures of tradition. Part of a project that enhances the legacy of Gio Ponti, Cavallo 1 was born from the collaboration between Molteni&C and the heirs of the famous Italian architect and designer, in constant dialogue with his precious archive. This object is part of a series of pieces originally designed by Ponti, reinterpreted today as symbols of a renewed and conscious lifestyle, in which every detail contributes to defining an aesthetic and cultural identity. The horse, with its sharp lines and stylized form, is designed to be displayed as a decorative element on a bookcase, console or countertop, fitting naturally into different environments. More than a simple object, it is a poetic fragment of design, capable of conveying history, ingenuity and beauty in a compact and light form.
