Palazzo Montecatini
Milan, Italy
Gio Ponti, 1936
Poster building for Italian modernity, and a monument to the new working class, Palazzo Montecatini – designed by Gio Ponti in 1936 – represents the shift from industrial space to administrative offices.
In this eloquent Milanese office building, Olivari’s touch is present in the form of the E42 handle, designed by Gio Ponti himself. Conceived as a contract project, it is perhaps the handle that best expresses Olivari’s experimental approach.
