La Mano, designed by Gio Ponti, is an iconic object that reflects his unmistakable irreverent spirit. This bold piece was born from a playful exchange of letters with the silversmith Lino Sabbatini, who brought it to life from a sketch of a six-fingered hand that Ponti had sent him as a joke. What began as a game ended up becoming one of the designer’s most prized creations. Made from a curved sheet of metal from which its unusual six fingers emerge, this work functions both as a decorative sculpture and as an original jewelry holder.
