About the Item
A Modernist Italian pendant attributed to Pietro Chiesa for Fontana Arte, dating to the 1960s. Six polished nickel arms extend from a central stem, each supporting a light source framed by layered diffusers of thick, beveled glass—a central rectangle with rounded base flanked by two circular panels. Cylindrical fittings and disc finials secure the structure.
When lit, the glass edges catch and refract light, heightening the geometric composition. Both sculptural and architectural—hang above a dining table, in a foyer, or as a focal point in a sitting room.
Founded in 1932 in Milan, Fontana Arte occupies a unique space at the crossroads of art and design. Celebrated for its innovative approach to glass, the brand harmonizes traditional craftsmanship with modern aesthetics. Through collaborations with iconic designers like Gae Aulenti and Pietro Chiesa, Fontana Arte has created timeless pieces that elevate everyday environments.
Condition: Great vintage condition, with minor oxidation to the chrome frame. This pendant has been professionally rewired by our team of restorationists with new sockets. Accepts six E12 base light bulbs.
