Time Out says

Based in Milan and known as the father of modern Italian design, Gio Ponti has also worked in fields as diverse as architecture, painting and editing. This exhibition lets visitors experience how he's managed to transform the heaviness of architecture into something light and thin, creating 'skin-like' building surfaces with unique textures and a sense of warmth. Make sure to check out the reproductions of his tile designs as well.
