This exceptional pair of Model 2199 wall lamps, designed by the legendary Max Ingrand and produced by Fontana Arte in the 1960s, embodies timeless elegance and expert craftsmanship. A rare and highly sought-after design, these lamps feature deep-beveled oval glass with an etched, inverted wormhole-like décor and polished edges, creating a striking interplay of light and texture. Each lamp was handcrafted, ensuring a unique character and distinctive appearance.
The lamps are mounted on a nearly invisible white metal backplate, designed for effortless wall installation, while refined brass hardware adds a touch of sophistication. Remarkably preserved in pristine and fully original condition, these lamps make an extraordinary addition to any collector’s repertoire or a refined statement in a contemporary interior. Their versatility allows them to enhance a variety of settings, from living rooms and bedrooms to hallways and reading nooks. A masterful blend of innovation and luxury, these lamps pay tribute to Max Ingrand’s visionary design and Fontana Arte’s enduring legacy in Italian craftsmanship.
