Dust
Dust - Inspired by Giovanni Ponti, the father of modern Italian design, was an artist, architect, designer, writer and publisher, (1891 - 1979). Ponti did not believe form had to follow function. Instead, he says ‘that form is an ideal contribution, independent of functionality and originated from concepts of essentiality and truth, and that functionality, always implicit in everything, has nothing to do with the matter’. His attention to surfaces and textures was first manifest in the bi-chromatic flooring in the home, he always made room for beauty as well as use. Ponti engaged with entrepreneurial and industrial establishment. In 2021 Solus Tiles celebrated the inspirational life and work of the Italian architect Gio Ponti when it launched a sensational showcase of his iconic ‘Blu’ collection of Majolica ceramic tiles.
