MERIDIANO
fontanaarte > Floor lamp
The «shape of light» is the central theme of this project by Gabriele and Oscar Buratti, which began with the Equatore family of lamps, presented in 2017 and now expanded to include other finishes, and continues with the new Tropico and Meridiano. The latest family now featuring the new floor-standing version. Forms of glass and metal that collect, contain and diffuse light in space. Passing between opaline, coloured and transparent layers, emphasised by the refined curves and the magic of blown glass, the light is free to create surprising and fascinating effects, patterns and moods.
LUMINATOR
fontanaarte > Floor lamp
Luminator is one of the first projects that Pietro Chiesa, then the owner of a workshop in Milan specialized in artistic glasswork, created for FontanaArte, where he would later become artistic director alongside Gio Ponti. The first indirect light floor lamp, Luminator is composed of a thin metal shaft that opens into a cone, inside which is the light source. A single element resting on a circular base, it is a lamp of an almost abstract rigor and purity, and is by far one of the most extraordinary pieces designed by Pietro Chiesa.
SCINTILLA LARGE
fontanaarte > Floor lamp
The absolutely novel Scintilla system combines the essential versatility of a decorative lamp and a lighting capacity comparable to a technical system. The great success of this system persuaded the company to design a free-standing version in the early eighties, with the main structure fastened to the base and stem in metal.
EQUATORE LARGE
fontanaarte > Ceiling lamp
Equatore is a contemporary reinterpretation of the classic lamp with a glass shade. While the traditional abat-jour uses the shade to contain the light source within, in this family of lamps the shade is paradoxically and suggestively empty, with the light being generated by two luminous discs placed inside a central metal band, visible on the shade, that evokes the line of the equator. The light produced by the Leds, thanks to internal screens arranged in layers, is distributed regularly across the surface of the discs, magically illuminating them. The bottom disc directs the light output downward, the upper one illuminates the glass cap for a soft, diffused light. Available in table, floor and ceiling models, in two sizes and two colors: a cooler version in gray with a dark chrome frame, and a warmer version with a transparent dove gray cap and a copper-colored frame.

OORT
fontanaarte > Ceiling lamp
The OORT system is composed of tubular elements made of borosilicate glass. Inside them are flexible LED light tubes of the latest generation, easily replaceable, with perfectly uniform 360° light emission and certified also for outdoor use. The borosilicate glass is ribbed on the inside, a feature that enhances the light by making it warm and welcoming, brings out the effect of light and shadow, and allows easy cleaning of the smooth outer surface. The light is diffuse, dimmable and available at 3000K (1900Lm/m) or Dim To Warm which allows to change the colour temperature, by dimming, from minumum 1800K to 4000K at maximum intensity. The flux is dimmer-dependent to a maximum of approx 1000Lm/m. The product can be supplied at 2700K on request.

MERIDIANO LARGE
fontanaarte > Ceiling lamp
La “forma della luce” è il tema centrale di questo progetto di Gabriele e Oscar Buratti iniziato con la famiglia di lampade Equatore, presentata nel 2017 ed ora ampliata con altre finiture, fino alle nuove Meridiano e Tropico. Forme di vetro e metallo che raccolgono, contengono e diffondono la luce nello spazio. Passando tra layer opalini, colorati e trasparenti, enfatizzata dalle curvature ricercate e dalla magia dei vetri soffiati, la luce è libera di creare effetti, disegni ed atmosfere sorprendenti ed affascinanti. Nella nuova lampada Meridiano, il tubo cilindrico verticale contiene e diffonde la luce nella capsula di vetro trasparente, che ne definisce la ricercata forma ovoidale. Prevista in due misure, Meridiano è declinata come sospensione media e grande, da usare singolarmente oppure in composizione di multipli disposti a grappolo. La versione da tavolo è proposta nella misura media.

BIANCA LARGE
fontanaarte > Ceiling lamp
Bianca is a family of luminaires with the decoration on the diffuser surface features an orderly series of shallow delicate grooves etched into the white glass, yielding an effect resembling small footprints on fresh snow. Mouth blown, belt sanded and dipped in acid to obtain the distinctive 'silk effect' typical of fine glassware, Bianca diffusers are available in three different diameters to complete all thirteen types of luminaires belonging to the family. The largest diffuser has a 50 cm diameter and, owing to its dimensions and the amount of glass involved, continues to pose a considerable challenge even for the ablest of glassbbottoms trained in the fixed-mould blowing technique, which – according to the traditional Venetian production process – is performed without any external aids for turning and shaping the glass blob inside the mould, but relies solely on the glassbbottom's skill and lung capacity. Bianca is available in the following versions: table-top without stem, floor-standing with base and stem, pendant, wall-mounted and ceiling-mounted. The matt white coating applied to the various metal supports evokes the name and colour of the diffuser. Bianca produces a very warm, diffused and enveloping light emission in the surrounding environment.

SETAREH GLASS MEDIUM
fontanaarte > Ceiling lamp
This is the name of the family of lighting fixtures that Francesco Librizzi, a young Sicilian architect working in Milan, has designed for the first time for FontanaArte. Setareh was born of the idea of giving form to light. The lamp is composed of a sphere magically suspended within a thin metal structure. The play of circular masses and trajectories generates a balanced design of gravitational dynamics. The light from the sphere is diffused into the surrounding space, illuminating the frame. The reflections of the metal render the luminous field visible, space influenced by light, by its aura. The result is a collection of lighting elements, available in tabletop and suspension versions, of extraordinary poetic grace. Setareh takes on new dimensions: elongated, with either two or three spherical elements that work separately or together. Its vocation is the illumination of large spaces, with double-height ceilings or otherwise ample enough to accomodate expansive compositions of multiple elements. A firmament of Setareh, ‘star’ in the ancient Farsi language.

FONTANELLA MEDIUM
fontanaarte > Wall lamp
Two materials: metal and glass, as in the historic tradition of FontanaArte. The metal acts as a base and contains the light source while the glass, the true protagonist of the project, is expertly worked by skilled craftsmen in a process of fusion between a portion of transparent glass and a satin one from which the light diffuses. Fontanella is formed by the union of two glasses: the internal tube is threaded, sandblasted and finally joined with the bubble-shaped blown glass. What makes the processing particularly refined is the manual joining of the two parts, which requires the skillful technique of a craftsman. Furthermore, the glass, which has always been the material par excellence of the FontanaArte product, is the most crystalline on the market. The use of light bulbs, dimmable and not dimmable, for the biggest energy saving, complete the contemporaneity of this FontanaArte piece.
LUNAIRE

Lunaire is a wall and ceiling lamp with a surprising light effect, reminiscent of the phenomenon produced by eclipses. A smaller front disc containingthe light source is set inside a large concave aluminium diffuser.Two different effects are possible depending on how the small discis positioned with respect to the diffuser: back lighting when the front disc is closed, in other words pushed towards the wall, or from insidethe diffuser when the disc is pulled forward. Simply pulling or pushing the rod on the front of the disc immediately changes the lightingeffect to suit the mood. Thanks to the large diameter of the diffuser, Lunaire is the perfect lighting solution for big areas,they residential or contract.

NOBI MEDIUM
fontanaarte > Wall lamp
In floor, wall and suspension versions, Nobi guarantees total practicality for innovative elegant design.The adjoined convex lenses are held in place by a system of small clamps and fixed to the metal structure with two pins, the same on which the light source is also mounted. The diffuser can thus rotate on itself and orient the light flow in different directions. Innovative and available in multiple versions, Nobi provides maximum functionality while retaining a powerful aesthetic presence.
IO
fontanaarte > Wall lamp
In the shape of a small curved lunar disc, IO is a wall light with dual Led light emission. IO appears almost suspended, very close to the wall but never close enough to touch it; positioned at a distance that allows the light to gently caress the wall with an intimate skimming effect. Elegant and minimalist, it is equipped with a mount with a dual rotating axis. is allows the diffuser to be rotated by 360°, directing it exactly where the light is required. In addition to rotating, the diffuser also moves up and down, opening and closing the light beams to adjust to individual requirements. Designed to provide a source of light that is as personal and adjustable as possible, the ideal use for this light is as a bedside lamp. However, it's versatility also makes it an excellent solution for lighting the walls of offices and corridors, both in residential and contract spaces. The diffuser is made from die-cast aluminium and looks very solid despite its small size. It is available in a matt finish in the following four colours: graphite grey, red, white and blue. The inside is always white in order to reflect as much light as possible.
APEX

TAVOLO CON RUOTE SMALL - 140 X 70
fontanaarte > Side table
An industrial trolley used at the FontanaArte plant to transport glass: this was the object that inspired Gae Aulenti to design her Tavolo con Ruote. It is a specimen of intuitive design that skips the drawing board stage and goes straight from the idea of an everyday item to the prototype stage. This wheeled table replaces the factory trolley’s wooden shelf with a chunky sheet of beveled glass – a tribute to the company’s production history – and fits free-rolling industrial wheels. The nature of the object and its intended use are transformed by replacing just one simple part.
