Fontana Arte

Founded in 1932, Fontana Arte is an Italian design company that has marked the history of light and furnishings around the world. 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.

Fontana Arte reworks the all-Italian idea of its creator Gio Ponti, bringing together top designers and the most sophisticated artisan skills in an industrial context. Partnered by many leading names in international architecture, such as Shigeru Ban and Foster & Partners, the company developed a solid design background combining the skill of the artisan with the pioneering outlook.

Fontana Arte’s design culture, mainly involving fine materials like glass, has seen interaction between technology and aesthetic appeal as it’s 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.
