CEILING LIGHT FONTANA ARTE

1.450,00 €

Ceiling light, made by the Italian company Fontana Arte, in the 1940s.

Colorful light, of interesting shape, is probably the result of the work of the designer Pietro Chiesa, who was active at Fontana Arte during those years. The light will enhance any space and enrich it. It is made of two glass domes, one of which features a colorful painting, complemented by beautiful high-quality brass details, testifying to the exceptional quality of this product.

The Fontana Arte company evolved from a business founded by Luigi Fontana in 1881, where they produced glass panels. It achieved great success in the construction sector and became one of the largest glass producers in Italy. In the early 1930s, Fontana aimed to ambitiously enter the market of artistic glass and decor, so he hired the renowned Italian designer Gia Ponti to assist him. Thus, in 1933, Fontana Arte was established, which merged the same year with the company of Pietro Chiesa – Bottega di Pietro Chiesa. Gio Ponti and Pietro Chiesa became the artistic directors of the company. They quickly became a recognized and esteemed company, producing many refined glass products such as stained glass, lighting, mirrors, and even glass furniture. In the post-war years, when the economy was in turmoil, they continued to produce prestigious pieces, mainly for hotels and offices. In 1954, the artistic direction was taken over by Max Ingrand, which opened the doors to a new era for the company. With his creations, they proved themselves and regained a prestigious reputation. Fontana Arte went through several phases, both good and bad, but the company still survives to this day. In 1998, Fontana Arte even received the ADI Compasso d’Oro award for its significant contribution to the Italian design heritage. Today, they are still involved in design, and they invite many architects and designers of the 21st century to create. Their important works can also be seen in significant museums such as the Museum of Modern Art in New York, where their works can be found in the permanent collection.
