One of the most influential representatives of the made in Italy lighting design, FontanaArte has its roots in the nineteenth century with the foundation of a glass factory in Milan by the entrepreneur Luigi Fontana. The real brand was born from the meeting between the latter and Giò Ponti, the first artistic director, leaving an indelible mark on the style of the company, so much that his creations still play a central role in the FontanaArte catalog. Glass and crystal gave the brand an immediate international success since the early years, thanks also to the collaboration with the master glassmaker Pietro Chiesa.Read more
Designed by
Alvaro Siza
Álvaro Siza Viera (1933-) is considered the greatest Portuguese architect of the 20th century. During his life, he is awarded all the most important prizes in the field: from the Pritzker Prize in 1992 to the Japanese Imperial Prize in 1998, from the Royal Gold Metal in 2009 to the Golden Lion for Lifetime Achievement in 2012. The cornerstone of his architectural investigation is the search for a continuous synthesis between tradition and modernity, expressed in an unsurpassed ability to purify the historical forms of Portuguese architecture of any superfluous ornament to arrive at a fully modernist style, capable, thanks to its references to the past, of never running the risk of appearing cold or sterilely academic. Another fundamental aspect of his design practice is the great attention paid to the relationship between the work and its context, with great care taken to avoid scenographic “archistar effects” in favor of a more harmonious integration between his architecture and the surrounding landscape. He is considered one of the leading exponents of the so-called “Porto School”, together with his teacher Fernando Távora and his younger colleague Eduardo Souto de Moura. Among his works, many notable ones are the “Sea Pools” in Leça de Palmeira (1959-73), located on the ocean shore, the headquarters of the Faculty of Architecture of the University of Porto (1987-96) or the Centro Galego de Arte Contemporánea in Santiago de Compostela (1988-93). He also designs one of the five Vitra factories (1994) within the famous Vitra Campus. His rare experiences as a product designer mainly focus on the lighting sector and involve collaborations with brands such as Fontana Arte, Nemo and BD Barcelona Design.Read more
