At the same time, in Ermesponti, our technician Mattia prepares all the production drawings and easily the making process starts according with them. Each master carpenter is in charge of a specific item: Silvio of the media cabinet, Giuseppe of the hall- kitchen boiserie, Roberto of the main tv corner cabinet, Marco of the Sintagma’s […]
It’s easy to say “carpenter”. In ermesponti we grow this ancient craft with care and respect. Many of our “falegnami” (the Italian wording our international customers don’t know) are actually master carpenters, who learned to work with wood, over the years, project after project, within our company. In ermesponti, from the owner – who, despite fifty years […]
The ermesponti method is all about keeping together the work of the mind (project) and the work of the hand (realization). Likewise, the people involved in this process are united in mutual respect, as it was in Renaissance workshops. These team of ours develop a project from the very first draft to the turnkey delivery, without undesired gaps in between. Well, today we’d […]

His presence is always discreet, but nevertheless clearly perceived, more through actions than words, especially towards the young people in our company. For whoever works in the manufacturing industry, as we do, the generations who opened […]

ERMES PONTI: A CAREFUL AND INSPIRING COLLABORATION ON THE VENICE BIENNALE GERMAN PAVILLION. By Alex Lehnerer and Savvas Ciriacidis. We were […]
For Ermes Ponti, Gio Ponti was a master, almost a grandfather. Not only a rare coincidence of names and neither a simply business relation between them; a friendship that still exists between the two families- the Pontis from Milan and the Pontis from Mantua. Gio Ponti was “four-times-twenty” and Ermes was not 25 yet; Gio […]
Sometimes design an architectural facade for a fashion brand means something more and it implies some background questions: What’s the brand identity? What’s the meaning of the facade of its new flagship in the most important fashion street of Shanghai? We knew that one of the key brand value of Corneliani was the excellence of […]
We are proud to announce that Mantua is not so far from Shanghai from today. We have found an invisible link from one of our world-known frescos of the “Camera Picta” in the oldest part of the Mantua city centre and the new Corneliani flagship store in Nanjing road, the main fashion street in Shanghai.
