Fontana Arte
Re & Regina Table Lamp
Regina
Price € 2,150.00
Re & Regina are a collection of lamps by FontanaArte inspired by the world of chess—and in particular by the two most iconic pieces on the board, the King and the Queen. The aesthetic of these two table lamps is a deliberate homage to the original pieces, reinterpreted with ideal proportions to be placed on bedside tables, desks, or any type of surface. The profiles of the two models differ from each other just as the originals do, expressing distinct shapes that make them fascinating both as individual lamps and as a paired composition, creating an even more evocative effect. Re & Regina are available exclusively in white, representing a single, unified lamp concept whose light spreads gently through the surrounding space, illuminating the evenings of all passionate players.

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
Bobo Piccoli
Bobo Piccoli (1927–1981) was an Italian artist and a key figure in Milan’s postwar art scene, at the center of a circle that gravitated between the Brera Academy and the famous Bar Jamaica. Primarily a painter, his work went through several phases and drew inspiration from some of the most influential avant-gardes of the twentieth century: in his early years he looked above all to Picasso and Cubism, later moving first toward Art Informel and then toward Surrealism. From the 1950s onward, an important thread in his career was the dialogue between art and architecture, through collaborations with figures such as Roberto Menghi and Marco Zanuso. One of his best-remembered works in this vein is the polychrome marble floor he created in 1973 for the seventeenth-century Palazzo delle Stelline in Milan. In the late 1960s he also had a stint as a designer in collaboration with the lighting company FontanaArte, producing among other works the Re and Regina lamps (1968), inspired by chess pieces.Read more
