Gray Oneline washbasin by Gio Ponti for Ideal Standard, 1950s
SILVER Seller in Pesaro-Urbino, Italy
Gray Oneline washbasin by Gio Ponti for Ideal Standard, 1950s (1953). Arrangement three holes or to put wall-mounted faucets. By removing the architectural garments from the appliances - the column pretending to hold the sink bowl, the raised collars belonging to the profiles - we arrive at the true form, Ponti says in '55, but he had already done so in '36 with the Deva fixtures for Montecatini. Here the sink column is a simple plinth that conceals, not holds. The smooth basin, without relief, is trapezoidal, a shape that favors the gesture of the arms during washing.
