I was just talking about Gio Ponti and here he is on the pages of Western Interiors. Ponti and Christofle's design director, Tony Bouilhet, collaborated for nearly fifty years (1928 -78.) Some of the twenty-five pieces were never produced, but Christofle is introducing a collection of Ponti's work. I checked the site and did not find them yet. Stay tuned.

hey diddle diddle, the fork and the spoon could run away here any ole time. love the clean lines.
they remind me of the "Shaker" silver.
Patricia - You are so clever - as deft with words as you are with pictures.
Very exciting and unique pieces, sure to receive compliments from all that use this fabulous serving ware.
Oooh...I'd like that flatware please.
I love Gio Ponti, and he is so undervalued. I used his work as the inspiration for a school project, and not one designer in the class had ever heard of him. Boo.
How exciting...can't wait! These are beautiful!
Love this modernist shape
i do really love contemp flatwear and serving pieces .
these are exceptional.

i have been busy and haven't been by.
i have missed your post !
Hi!
I actually work with Christofle and, whilst the Gio Ponti Collection is not featured on the website (yet), it actually debuted in September 2009. It's a fantastic collection and I love the positive response.
Many of the pieces are in first-time-production, having been created from Ponti's archives.
I've got a lot more information if you're interested.
Leslie - I hope you stop back! Yes, I'd love more information - email me at bshack@kc.rr.com. Thanks.
