This exquisite and rare pair of Model 2080 wall lamps was designed by the legendary Max Ingrand and produced by the renowned Italian lighting manufacturer Fontana Arte in 1955. A beautiful example of mid-century Italian design, these lamps combine refined materials with atmospheric lighting in a form that evokes timeless elegance.
Each lamp features a solid brass wall-mounted arm in sculptural form and a delicately curved frosted glass shade. The bent glass is gracefully shaped to resemble a flame or candle when illuminated, casting a warm, ambient light that enhances any interior with subtle sophistication. The craftsmanship is exceptional, with the frosted glass in excellent original condition, free from chips or cracks, and the brass displaying a rich, natural patina. For those who prefer a more polished appearance, the brass can be professionally cleaned to reveal a shiny finish.
These lamps are in very good original condition and remain fully functional, using standard E14 bulbs of up to 60 watts each. Their understated elegance and rare presence make them a desirable addition to any refined interior, whether used in a hallway, living room, or bedroom. Kindly note that the listed price is for the set of 2.
Fontana Arte was one of the most forward-thinking lighting and glass manufacturers in Italy, and Max Ingrand—its most celebrated designer—was instrumental in defining the company’s legacy. A master glass artist, Ingrand brought a unique vision to his work, combining innovation with beauty. His designs are distinguished by their poetic use of glass and light, and the Model 2080 wall lamps are a perfect example of his artistic and technical sensibility.
These lamps are not only decorative but also collectible, fine examples of Italian lighting history designed by one of its greatest visionaries.
