Brands FONTANA ARTE

FontanaArte

Founded by Gio Ponti and Pietro Chiesa, FontanaArte is considered the queen of decorative lighting in the world.
The company was founded in 1932 out of the need to make the material and plastic properties of glass available to the imagination and inventiveness of new generations of architects, artists and decorators, at a time when, especially in Milan, industrial production was seen as one of the 'infinite possibilities of artistic expression'.
The new strategy is committed to re-imagining the appeal of FontanaArte in dialogue with the Masters and the tradition of fine Italian design, anticipating new aesthetic codes. 
Even today, in the 21st century, the Art that Ponti himself wanted to add to the company's name remains the key to
an identity capable of existing beyond any single mass-produced product. The timeless spirit, balanced between art and industry, is the same that inspires FontanaArte's contemporary production, suspended between clarity and durability.
