Story
Designed for Andrea Doria
Molteni&C dates the original design to 1952 and connects it to the ocean liner Andrea Doria. Ponti conceived one of his uncommon outdoor furnishings as an adaptable piece, and the manufacturer now reconstructs it through archival collaboration.
Heritage Collection
The official sheet explicitly labels D.150.5 as part of the Heritage Collection. Its solid-teak form and current outdoor cushion specification bring the archived design back into production while preserving the original year as a faithful reissue.
