An authentic set of six Gio Ponti ladderback dining chairs, crafted in Italy and retaining their original woven rush seats.

These chairs are closely aligned with Ponti’s iconic Superleggera design ethos—celebrated for its exceptional lightness, refined proportions, and understated elegance. The gently curved ladder backs, tapering legs, and beautifully balanced construction exemplify Ponti’s pursuit of both form and function.

The natural rush seats introduce warmth and texture, contrasting subtly with the smooth wooden frames, resulting in a timeless and highly collectible dining set.

A true piece of Italian mid-century design history, equally suited to design-led interiors or serious collectors.
