Tapered legs, angled arms and a frame poised in sculptural tension define the D.156.3 armchair by Molteni&C—a reissue of Gio Ponti’s original 1950s design, now meticulously restored from the archives. Its silhouette captures Ponti’s architectural sensitivity to form and lightness, evoking the era’s bold experimentation in proportion and materiality.

Crafted in solid American walnut or maple with a black gloss finish, the frame supports a generously upholstered seat and backrest, available in an array of refined leathers and fabrics. Suited to gallery-like interiors and formal lounges, it brings a museum-worthy design legacy into today’s most curated spaces.
