Biography
Pietro Chiesa (born 1892, Milan–died 1948, Paris) was a leading Italian Modernist and Art Deco designer best known for his artistic glass furnishing pieces. He belonged to the Swiss Ticino family of artists. He studied at the Accademia di Belle Arti di Brera and then trained as an apprentice at the studio of furniture designer Giovanni Battista Gianotti. In 1932, Gio Ponti approached Pietro Chiesa to join him and Luigi Fontana—who was one of the largest manufacturers of glass in Italy and became its artistic director. In 1933, Pietro Chiesa merged the Bottega di Pietro Chiesa with Fontana’s studio, and together, Chiesa, Luigi Fontana, and Gio Ponti formed company that specialized in furniture, lighting, glass windows, and furnishing accessories. It was during Chie- sa’s tenure as artistic director of Fontana Arte that he created hundreds of extremely creative pieces—all bearing his imprimatur of the highest excellence in glass craftsmanship and the techniques he applied to modern materials. His most well-known pieces include the Fontana table, which was made from a single band of bent clear glass; the Cartoccio vase; and the lacquered brass Luminator floor lamp. Despite the obvious modernity of most of his pieces, one can see how Chiesa was influenced by the classical forms. He also created what would become Fontana Arte’s signature colors of the time, deep blue and green, which Chiesa integrated successfully into many of his creations.

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. The Luminator was for its time a groundbreaking design, and considered to be the first indirect light floor lamp in design history.
The lamp is completely built up in metal, consisting of a stem that widens into a cone. The color can be best described as a very light grey, with a hint of blue. The finish is not smooth, but has a relief to it.
Light source: E14 Screw-in halogen or incandescent bulb. Can be used on the US electric grid after a plug change (we can do this for you!).
Origination: Italy, 1980s. Most lamps carry the Fontana Arte label...
