description
Originally designed between 1953 and 1957 for Villa Planchart in Caracas—one of Ponti’s most cherished projects—it remains a symbol of his visionary approach.
Reissued by Molteni&C in 2015, D.154.2 stays true to its original cocoon-like shape, featuring a rigid polyurethane frame, a soft polyurethane counter-frame, and a cushion, all available in Molteni&C’s textile range with customizable combinations. In 2016, it received the Wallpaper Design Award, solidifying its status as a Molteni&C icon.
In 2023, an outdoor version was introduced as part of the brand’s first outdoor collection, crafted from weather-resistant materials. Recognized for its timeless impact, D.154.2 was honored with the Compasso d’Oro Career Award for Products in 2024.
“I dedicated myself heart and soul to designing Villa Planchart, and in it I was at liberty to express my own approach to architecture, both outside and inside.”
— Gio Ponti, 1955
