Fontana Arte floor lamp made of brass and glass, Italy, 1960s
-
Description
A beautiful floor lamp in brass and glass, FontanaArte manufacture, Italy, 1960s.
Brass and glass: the unmistakable style of FontanaArte captivates and enchants with its essential lines and perfect balance of proportions. A brass stem supports four adjustable light diffusers. The light passing through the delicate domes of glossy white glass becomes warm and intimate.
This lamp reflects echoes of modernity, where interior aesthetics sought to break away from classical traditions, exploring innovative solutions often inspired by industrial design. The four light sources might evoke the headlights of a car or the floodlights illuminating grand architectural structures.
However, the sophisticated aesthetic design of the piece—at times austere, at times almost ceremonial—combined with the refined shimmer of polished brass, renders the lamp distinctly domestic. It radiates an interior warmth that only the finest design can convey.
This is a mood-setting lamp, remarkable for its minimalist yet vibrant spirit of research, a hallmark of FontanaArte’s history. The Milanese company, founded in 1932 and once directed artistically by Gio Ponti, has always exemplified a commitment to innovation.
The presented lamp, identified in the period catalog under model number 2380, is in excellent overall condition, entirely original, including the rare push-button switch.
