Brands FontanaArte

Founded by Gio Ponti and Pietro Chiesa, FontanaArte is considered the world leader in decorative lighting.

The company was founded in 1932 out of a need to make the material and plastic properties of glass available to the imagination and inventiveness of new generations of architects, artists, and interior designers, at a time when, especially in Milan, industrial production was recognized as one of “the infinite possibilities of artistic expression.”

The new strategy is committed to reimagining FontanaArte’s charm through dialogue with the Masters and the tradition of beautiful Italian design, anticipating new aesthetic codes.

Even today, in the 21st century, the “Arte” that Ponti himself chose to include in the company’s name remains the key to

an identity capable of existing beyond any single mass-produced item. This timeless spirit, balancing art and industry, is the same one that inspires FontanaArte’s contemporary production, suspended between clarity and durability.
