About Fontana Arte
Fontana Arte was founded in 1932 by Luigi Fontana and Gio Ponti and was the first Italian company to establish itself in interior design and is therefore considered one of the most important companies in the development of the Italian living landscape of early modernism.
In the 1950s, Fontana Arte modernized its manufacturing processes and turned to industrial production - without, however, abandoning the valuable, handcrafted component. In the eighties, the company finally advanced into the circle of the international design scene. The fact that Fontana Arte has always moved with the times despite its long history is demonstrated by the fact that the company has been part of an international group in the home automation sector, Nice S.p.A., since 2010. Fontana Arte is still innovative today.
The company is characterized by the fact that it also proves itself in ambitious international projects. By monitoring the needs of the rapidly changing international lighting market, Fontana Arte is able to offer customized lighting solutions which, thanks to the unique cooperation with Nice S.p.A., are convincing from both a technical and an aesthetic point of view.
Fontana Arte luminaires, both the historical and the new products, are prestigious objects that enhance any living space and have a timelessness that makes the products fashionable and contemporary for decades to come.
The Fontana Arte product portfolio
The Fontana Arte range includes products from the most common categories of living room lighting. In every area, the semi-handcrafted products are characterized by a combination of Fontana Arte's values with a good dose of innovation. The result is high-quality, modern classics. In 1998, the Italian Society for Industrial Design awarded Fontana Arte the Compasso d'Oro, the coveted industrial design prize.
The table lamps from Fontana Arte
The table lamps from Fontanav Arte demonstrate the diversity of the product range. There are very modern products with a fresh and almost futuristic design, such as the Kinx desk lamp, which is equipped with LED lighting technology and a USB port for charging smartphones or tablets. Table lamps such as the Bianca are absolutely timeless. With its milk-white glass shade with delicate groove patterns, it combines the simple with the special without appearing obtrusive or inappropriate. Table lamps such as the Cheshire, on the other hand, are modern interpretations of the classic table lamp shape. Tradition and modernity are in harmony at Fontana Arte!
The wall lights from Fontana Arte
Elegant and minimalist lights also alternate in the Fontana Arte wall light range. The IO LED wall light with double light emission looks a little playful thanks to the shape of a small, curved moon disc and the rich color and gives the wall an impressive lighting effect thanks to the modeled light. The Corrubedo wall light, on the other hand, embodies the simple, minimalist form par excellence. The straightforward geometry is what makes this top luminaire so appealing for various interior scenarios. The Lunaire wall light, on the other hand, is particularly elegant and eye-catching and can also be used as a ceiling light. It was inspired by the phenomenon of the solar eclipse and gives a room a breathtaking light.
The pendant lights from Fontana Arte
When it comes to pendant lights, most people think of the classic, hemispherical shape that is open at the bottom for direct lighting of the dining table. And this classic version is also covered by Fontana Arte's multifaceted range - with the CUPOLA pendant light. In contrast, the modern, futuristic luminaires in the NOBI range have a completely different effect, emitting light both into the room and onto the ceiling and thus providing more comprehensive ambient lighting. The Wig pendant light is more playful and bold in its new shapes. Its body made of metal petals open like flowers is unusual and adds a real highlight to the room.
The floor lamps from Fontana Arte
Minimal space requirements thanks to an extremely slim frame and compact LEDs permanently installed in the housing are the clear Bauhaus features of the Yumi arc light from Fontana Arte. The Yumi luminaire focuses on the essentials. But Fontana Arte's product portfolio is also rich in variety when it comes to floor lamps. High-quality lighting products from this top brand can be discovered for almost any style of furnishing.
