Office chair designed by Gio Ponti and manufactured by GoodForm in the United States in the 1950s.
The design has its roots in the furniture Gio Ponti created for the Montecatini Building in Milan in 1936, a landmark of Italian modernist architecture. It reflects the growing emphasis on ergonomics and functionality in modern office furniture.
The chair features a distinctive four-spoke cast aluminum base, shaped like a propeller, with a swivel mechanism and casters. The padded seat and backrest are upholstered in black vinyl and supported by a slender metal frame. The seat height is adjustable.
This example retains its original GoodForm labels from the General Fireproofing Company of Youngstown, Ohio, along with a metal identification plate marked 1151 and Z-540.
Manufacturer: GoodForm for General Fireproofing Company, USA, circa 1950. This piece has an attribution mark,
