Fontana 1853 Small, the legendary lamp by FontanaArte
Some creations transcend their status as mere objects to become symbols. Designed in 1954 by Max Ingrand, artistic director of FontanaArte and a renowned master glassmaker, the Fontana 1853 Small is one of the most iconic lamps of 20th-century design. Considered one of the most striking lighting fixtures of its era, it remains today an essential reference for lovers of design and refined Decoration.
An icon born of glass and light
With its generously curved base and elegant conical lampshade, the Fontana lamp reinterprets the archetypal silhouette of the table lamp. Crafted from satin blown glass, it showcases the full talent of Max Ingrand, whose expertise in glass has profoundly shaped the history of FontanaArte. The softness of its white finish delicately diffuses the light and brings a soothing presence to both contemporary and more classic interiors.
An Innovation That Remains Timeless
The Fontana was one of the first lamps to make the base an active part of the lighting system. Its dual independent switches allow the base lighting and the lampshade lighting to be used separately. In practice, the light built into the base creates a soft ambiance ideal for nighttime reading or a bedside table, while the main light source effectively illuminates the space. Together, they provide generous, enveloping light.
An Iconic Signature
More than just a lamp, the Fontana 1853 Small embodies the very identity of FontanaArte. Its balanced design, exceptional blown glass, and functional ingenuity continue to set it apart from many contemporary lampshade lamps even today. Placed on a Console table, a Desk, or a side table, it immediately lends a sense of heritage and sophistication to the space.
Choosing the Fontana 1853 Small means bringing a monument of Italian design into your home. A lamp whose light, nearly seventy years after its creation, continues to illuminate interiors with the same timeless elegance.
