The FontanaArte Story
Architect Gio Ponti founded FontanaArte lighting in Milan in 1932 after serving as the artistic director of Luigi Fontana Company. The focus was on stained glass and its awe-inspiring presence in churches and cathedrals. In 1979, the contemporary lighting company is purchased by several private buyers and is revitalized to include well-known architects and glass artists.

Why We Love FontanaArte Lighting
FontanaArte lighting shows off new ways of using glass, forming sculptures of light that are just as impressive when unlit than when in use. Their European lighting fixtures translate to office and home, and their clean forms live long after the fads have faded.
Fun Facts About FontanaArte
