Max Ingrand was a
French artist
specialized in stained
glass windows. He
became artistic director
of FontanaArte in
1954.
Ingrand created a rich
series of subtle and
appeallingly delicate
glass lamps. In 1955,
he gave birth to what
was to become one of
FontanaArte’s iconic
table lamps, the 1855.
He also designed the
FontanaArte store in Via
Montenapoleone, Milan, in 1970
“In 1955, Max Ingrand created articles of
new design and refned workmanship,
among which a very peculiar table lamp.
In this lamp, free-foating supports of
rodsin coloured crystal formed acrobatically
balanced triangles reminiscent of the
chance compositions of the familiar
Shanghai game, sheltered under a vast hat
lamp bulb shade”
Source: “FontanaArte, una storia trasparente” (1998)
The design was drawn on July 7th, 1955 and the lamp was frst produced on May 7th, 1956. The structure was made of polished, blue
coloured glass cylinders, mounted with shiny brass knuckles and a shade in black “japon” cloth and lined with white paper.

Gio Ponti meets Pietro
Chiesa. FontanaArte is
born.
Pietro Chiesa works the
raw material for his
Cartoccio vase
Mano table lamp was created by Pietro Chiesa in 1932 specifcally on commission for the study of Italian author Ezio
d’Errico in his Turin residence. The interior decoration was carried out by the Torinese architect Carlo Mollino who relied

The Corteccia table was created by Pietro Chiesa in 1937 and frst produced in 1939. It consisted of a natural wooden
column sculptured to look like a tree trunk with a metal rod inside that held the top round glass plate and the gold-plated
circular base seamlessly together.
The table was never produced industrially and therefore remained one of its kind.
