PARIS – Across the main entrance of Tutto Ponti, a retrospective exhibition at the MuSée des Arts Décoratifs’s (MAD), are two sets of seductively zaftig pastel-coloured armchairs. To the left stand the angular D.151.4, the D.153.1 and the D.154.2, designed by polymath Gio Ponti; to the right, his award-winning D.156.3 is the standout piece. The pieces, which function as a ground wire between the late designer’s bespoke work and today’s market, are part of Molteni&C’s Heritage Collection.

But seeing the chairs in action is eye-opening. On the left, the woman in a senior couple tentatively approaches the trio, deeming the items perhaps too precious to touch, until she finally succumbs to her curiosity, sitting down elegantly inside the nest of the 154 and turning her partner into an Instagram husband. On the right, a woman has proudly stationed herself at the regal-looking seat, a calm smile on her face.

To many users such as them, this is the type of designed object whose value needs no intricate explanation.

‘In the world of today, sprezzatura should be our motto — everyone [instead] is complaining and focusing on the effort and the money and the investment,’ said director Olivier Gabet, referring to the Italian term for the studied nonchalance behind the country’s revered way of dressing beautifully.

As many design museums are focused on pulling back the curtain on the sourcing, technology and process behind a finished object, the MAD is fiercely betting instead on the emotional role of this type of institution, on aiding the development of a sensibility for pleasure. Are they perhaps sensing an information saturation related to the conceptual aspect of production? Or is there something else behind this position?
