A rare and highly collectible example of Italian mid-century lighting, this model 1990 flush mount ceiling lamp was designed by Max Ingrand for Fontana Arte and produced in Italy circa the 1960s. Known for his mastery of glass and light, Ingrand here presents a composition that is both sculptural and restrained, a hallmark of his most refined work for the legendary Milanese glassmaker.

 

The lamp features a striking square shade crafted from thick, teal blue beveled glass, a signature Fontana Arte color and form that instantly signals design pedigree. The sharply cut edges and precision bevels allow the glass to play subtly with ambient light, giving the fixture a jewel-like presence even when unlit. Beneath the glass lies a softly frosted diffuser that offers a warm, muted glow, ideal for elegant ambient lighting in refined interiors.

 

The fixture is constructed from white-lacquered aluminum, with the diffuser held in place by a single polished brass knob — a functional yet elegant detail that enables easy access for bulb replacement while maintaining the lamp’s clean architectural lines.

 

Literature; Fontana Arte catalogue, 1960.
