About This Piece

Vintage Design

FontanaArte is an Italian company founded in Milan in 1932 by Luigi Fontana and Giò Ponti and specialized in glass processing and in the creation of furnishing accessories

Best known for its elegant and innovative vintage lighting pieces, the Milan-based firm FontanaArte pioneered one of the key features of 20th-century and contemporary Italian design: the union of artistry and industry wrought by partnerships between creative talents — chiefly architects — and entrepreneurial businesses. Fontana Arte is further distinguished by having had as artistic director, in succession, four of Italy’s most inventive modernist designers: Giò Ponti, Pietro Chiesa, French transplant Max Ingrand and Gae Aulenti.
