Classic Italian Design Luminator Floor Lamp by Pietro Chiesa for Fontana Arte
By Pietro Chiesa
Located in Renens, CH
Please note that the price is for 1 lamp. Floor lamp designed by Pietro Chiesa in 1933 and produced by Fontana Arte.

Origination: Italy, 1980s. Most lamps carry the Fontana Arte label...
