The Fontana 1853 collection by Fontana Arte

FontanaArte Fontana 1853 connects Max Ingrand’s illuminated table-lamp form with a miniature glass vase inspired by its silhouette.

The lamp joins a satin blown-glass shade to a rounded glass base, with separate controls for lighting the two sections. The hand-blown vase translates those proportions into a small tabletop object for flowers or a tealight. Both use milky glass surfaces, but the vase is a decorative vessel rather than an electrical lamp.

The pieces. Two in the collection.
