Thus the iconic D.154.2, already in the indoor catalogue, finds a new identity and use in its outdoor version. The D.150.5 solid wood chaise longue, designed by Gio Ponti for the cruise ship Andrea Doria in 1952, sees the light. A piece of furniture of great craftsmanship, it is evidence of Ponti's design vision. A complex product but meant for industrial production, because “Industry is the way of the 20th century, it is its way of creating” (Gio Ponti, 1925).

This edition is a tribute to Ponti's work for the Andrea Doria, where he was able to create exceptional environments with his multifaceted creativity. The chaise longue, "dreamed up" and designed by Ponti, is an important exponent of this representation, which anticipates, by seizing the opportunity of the ship's unconventional environments, precisely the continuous and modifiable spaces of his architecture of later years, where the furnishings participate in the domestic theatre without constructing fixed sets, as could be the case for living room or bedroom furniture, but rather responding to and representing in their design the comforts and needs of those who would use them.
