This is for an exquisite pair of Model 2213 wall lamps designed by the legendary Max Ingrand for Fontana Arte around 1960. They offer a masterclass in mid-century Italian design. Large in scale and modernist in form, these sculptural but minimal pieces reflect the visionary aesthetics and refined craftsmanship that define both Ingrand’s legacy and Fontana Arte’s storied history.
Each lamp features a curved grey glass outer shade, elegantly softening the lamp’s geometric profile, while the matte white glass diffuser slides seamlessly into solid brass holders, marrying function and beauty with effortless sophistication. The result is a warm, diffused glow, perfect for ambient lighting in high-end residential or hospitality interiors. The lamps are mounted on solid brass backplates, engineered for intuitive, multi-part wall installation. Notably, both lamps are in exceptional original condition, a rare attribute that enhances their value and desirability for vintage design collectors.
Whether placed in a curated modernist interior, a serene private residence, or a bespoke setting, these lamps offer a subtle yet luxurious statement, honoring the timeless elegance of Italian mid-century lighting. Their refined palette, premium materials, and architectural presence make them highly adaptable to a range of sophisticated environments and interiors.
