About the Item

A striking and sculptural Italian glass panel lamp from the mid-1960s, designed in the manner of Fontana Arte. The piece features a minimalist metal frame securing a geometric arrangement of deeply chiseled glass panels, surrounding a cluster of four chandelier-style bulbs set at varying heights. As light filters through the thick, textured glass, the hand-chiseled edges refract and scatter it, creating a glowing interplay of highlights and soft shadow—transforming a functional fixture into a dramatic architectural object. This type of refined, glass-forward lighting emerged during a golden era of Italian design, led by creators like Max Ingrand for Fontana Arte, and prized for its clarity, sophistication, and quiet innovation. By the 1960s, pieces in this style were imported to the U.S. through exclusive decorators, design ateliers, and specialty galleries, often in New York, Los Angeles, and Chicago, and sold to a discerning clientele of architects, art collectors, and internationally minded interior designers. Lamps like this were used in high-style modernist interiors, particularly in Park Avenue residences, West Coast architectural homes, and early corporate or hospitality projects where statement lighting played a central role. Designers such as Ward Bennett, Angelo Donghia, or Kalef Alaton might have chosen pieces like this to punctuate rooms with sculptural light, architectural form, and material richness. Elegant, atmospheric, and full of texture, this lamp is a beautiful example of mid-century Italian craftsmanship—where glass, geometry, and light work in harmony to define space.
