About the Item

Decorative vide poche with a round shape in black smoked glass produced by Fontana Arte between the 1960s and the 1970s in Italy. Dimensions: 8 x 22,5 x 21 cm Founded in 1932 in Milan, Fontana Arte is preparing to celebrate almost a century of history. A milestone that the company wants to share with its customers, professionals, design enthusiasts and the city of Milan on the occasion of the next Design Week from 6th to 12th June. A journey between the past and the present through the historical archive that will be presented, with a series of other initiatives that we are going to unveil, during the time of greatest attention and participation of the design world. The history of FontanaArte and its natural relationship with glass and light coincides with the birth and growth of Italian design, pioneered by Gio Ponti and his instinctive promotion of a new cultural unity in the industrial age. Still today, in the 21st century, the “Arte” that Ponti added to the company name is the key to an identity that exists beyond any single serial product. The timeless spirit, balance between art and industry, is the same that inspires FontanaArte's contemporary production, an equilibrium of clarity and durability.

Elio Martinelli Step Chandelier in Black Lacquered Metal by Martinelli Luce 70s
By Martinelli Luce, Elio Martinelli
Located in Montecatini Terme, IT
A rare ceiling lamp or chandelier (model Step) with a semisphere lampshade in black lacquered aluminum, it was designed by Elio Martinelli and produced by the Italian company, Martinelli Luce during the 1970s. The concentric shapes repeated in a precise sequence, from which the Step lamp is structured, reveal an attitude of the designer in search of geometric essentiality. It is a lamp characterized by simple and functional lines in which all the elements are inserted into each other reducing to a disk a few centimeters high, with closing system and telescopic opening. Its particular metal lamellar structure recalls some of the most famous lamps by Alvar Aalto and the hexagonal lamp designed in 1959 by Bruno Munare for Danese.
