Fontana Large Table Lamp by Fontana Arte
Design by Max Ingrand
Designed in 1954 by the famous French Master glassmaker and decorator Max Ingrand, this lamp was originally named 1853 and, at a later time, Fontana, in homage to the company of which the Master was Artistic Director for a decade. For design enthusiasts and connoisseurs of the brand’s history, 1853 still remains as a sort of nickname.The first symbol of timeless object of design, still today best seller and evergreen design icon, Fontana is the abat-jour par excellence. The peculiarity of Fontana is its multiple light sources: both the base and the lampshade contain one or more. The larger version also allows indirect lighting, thanks to an additional source that projects a beam of indirect light upwards. The differentiated light sources make it possible to satisfy different lighting needs: from a soft, relaxing glow to a sharp beam for reading to suggestive ambient light. Available also with Led light sources. A fabulous lamp in frosted white blown glass, already riedited in a total black variant, it is now proposed in a colored and brand new version - light grey and purple amethyst - to reinforce the contemporaneity of the project. “Light and colour are centrainly the most specific elements in nature. With them we have RELIEF, MOTION, LIFE” stated Max Ingrand. “Actually the history of architecture tells us what was the role of illuminated, opaque, translucent colour in interior and exterior architecture (…)Light was no longer just a means to breathe life into colour but became a means to breathe life into an entire architecture.”

Light Up Your Life: A Guide to Transforming Your Home with Lighting
Forget basic bulbs – lighting is the secret weapon in your home design arsenal. It's not just about seeing clearly; it's about creating an atmosphere, boosting your mood, and even promoting well-being. Here's how to unlock the transformative power of light in your space:
Safety First: Lighting for Functionality
Imagine chopping vegetables in a dimly lit kitchen – not ideal! Proper lighting ensures safety and efficiency. Task lighting in work areas like kitchens and offices provides clear visibility, reducing accidents and eye strain. Evenly distributed ambient light throughout your home prevents stumbles and creates a secure environment for everyone.
Mood Maestro: Lighting Sets the Stage
Lighting can be your personal mood DJ. Warm, inviting light in your living room creates a calming oasis for unwinding. Cooler, brighter light in your workspace energizes you for a productive day. Dimmer switches become your faders, allowing you to adjust the intensity to set the perfect ambiance for any activity, from a lively party to a quiet reading nook.
Light for Life: Promoting Well-being
The impact of lighting goes beyond aesthetics. Natural light exposure during the day regulates your sleep-wake cycle (circadian rhythm). By strategically using natural light and mimicking it with warm artificial light in the evenings, you can promote healthy sleep patterns and feel more energized throughout the day. Dimming harsh lights before bed further signals to your body it's time to wind down.
Light Up Your Style: Design with Illumination
Lighting isn't just functional; it's a design element waiting to shine. Layering different types of lighting, like ambient, task, and accent, adds depth and dimension to a space. Imagine a sleek pendant light casting a warm glow over your dining table, while recessed lights provide general illumination. The right lighting fixtures can be statement pieces, complementing your overall design aesthetic. From modern pendants to classic chandeliers, the options let you express your unique style.
Modern Touches: Smart Lighting and Natural Light
Embrace energy-efficient LED bulbs to save money and be kind to the environment. Smart lighting systems allow for ultimate customization and convenience, letting you control lights with your phone or voice. Finally, maximize natural light intake during the day by utilizing skylights, keeping furniture away from windows, and opting for light-colored curtains.
By investing in a well-designed lighting plan, you'll transform your home into a haven that promotes functionality, well-being, and a sense of style. So, ditch the dim bulbs and unleash the power of light – your home (and you) will thank you for it!
