Pierre Disderot, was born in Paris in 1920. He was a pioneer of modern lighting and started his studies in electricity engineering. But he developed a sensibility for modern architecture and opens his first studio in Cachan in 1948. At first, he was quite faithful to the late 40s classicism, but it wasn't really a match with his progressive spirit. It is his meeting with Marcel Gascoin, a master of modern art, and his team that really initiate him to progressivism. Its work in collaboration with designers such as Pierre Guariche or Joseph-André Motte gave rise to 50s iconic creations. These iconic lights are defined by their modernity. Pierre Disderot has been the benchmark for lighting for now more than three decades. Now we can find his best work in the most beautiful museums.

Pierre Disderot
The workshop of prolific designer Pierre Disderot was the birthplace of modern French lighting. The mid-century modern table lamps, floor lamps and wall lights that resulted from his collaborations with major names in design influenced lighting in the decades that followed.
Disderot was born in Paris in 1920. He studied engineering, but was drawn to design and architecture. He subsequently enrolled at L'École nationale supérieure des Arts Décoratifs and École Boulle, where he was inspired by the Scandinavian lighting designers of the 1940s. In 1948, he established his own manufacturing company, Atelier Pierre Disderot, in the Parisian suburb of Cachan.
In the early 1950s, Disderot met Pierre Guariche and Michel Mortier, two up-and-coming French designers. Together, the three luminaries launched a series of lighting fixtures featuring an updated modern style. Disderot, who had a knack for surrounding himself with the best, also established partnerships with Jacques Dumond, Joseph-André Motte, Pierre Gautier-Delaye, Pierre Paulin, Bernard Durussel and Roger Fatus.
Postwar exuberance marked the 1950s in France. Disderot’s studio reflected this attitude, creating designs that were more organic and colorful, with articulated pivots and arms for increased functionality and style. His openness to collaboration, and his willingness to provide designers with the tools and technology they needed, spurred both technical and aesthetic innovation in lighting.
In the 1960s, the growing company relocated to a large warehouse in Choisy-le-Roi. By this time, Disderot was taking orders from architects and interior designers as well as public commissions for buildings like Orly airport. He began buying licenses for products on the cutting edge of design, such as the Rotaflex line of chic, beehive-style lighting fixtures.
After more than three successful decades, Disderot sold his company in 1984 to focus on teaching and union activities. He died in 1991.
The company he started remains in operation today under the name Disderot, which continues to release updated models of fixtures from the 1950s through the 1970s.

Fontana Arte 1960 Italy Milan Very Rare Table Desk Lamp In Glass And Hardware
By Max Ingrand, Fontana Arte
Located in Miami, FL
Geometric table lamp designed by Fontana Arte.
An extraordinary piece of Italian decorative arts, created in Milano by Fontana Arte, back in the 1960. Crafted with translucent cut glass and nickeled steel. The main body is composed by two rectangular beveled pieces of greenish glass carved with incused circles and frosted finishes.
Fontana-Arte
FontanaArte is an Italian company founded in Milan in 1932 by Luigi Fontana and Giò Ponti (1891-1979). The company is known for the processing of curved glass and for the production of lighting equipment, becoming over the years a prominent name for Italian design. Fontana-Arte marked the “history of light and furnishings” in Italy and worldwide. Born of the idea of an architect, the company has always kept strong ties with the design world, gradually involving leading Italian and international architects and lighting designers. With them, the company has created a true cultural project of architecture, lighting and furniture. This design culture, mainly involving fine materials (above all glass), has seen interaction between technology and aesthetic appeal as its main focus, generating a series of timeless objects, with splendid shapes, some of which have become design classics, exhibited in leading museums around the world. Giò Ponti invites Pietro Chiesa (1892 – 1942) to join him in the art direction. Chiesa is a distinguished glass master who enlists the craftsmen from his own workshop to join him to the company. Gio Ponti designed the 0024 pendant lamp and the Bilia table lamp in 1931. Pietro Chiesa‘s most famous lamp at that time is the Luminator, designed in 1933, in 1937 the 006. In 1954, Max Ingrand, a French glass master and decorator, renowned for his stunning stained-glass church windows, becomes the art director. He designed the Fontana table lamp. Gio Ponti becomes again art director in 1967 and he designs a new collection of lamps, the Pirellina and Pirellone table...
