Gio Ponti (1891-1979), the Milanese architect and designer, drew the Pirelli Tower in Milan, a slender silhouette that became a symbol of modern Italy. His Pirellone floor lamp, produced by Fontana Arte and dated 1967, echoes its verticality and tapered profile: a column of light more than a lamp.
The glass is etched with a fine relief grid that catches the light and diffuses it as a soft, slightly golden glow. It is held at top and bottom by two pieces of brushed metal, sober and precise, which give it its footing and poise. On the base, the Fontana Arte label, model 2758, confirms its origin.
Switched off, it is a pale, silent sculpture; lit, it warms an entire corner of the room.
Perfect condition. A first-hand piece, acquired in Florence.
Height: 187 cm. Diameter: 30 cm.
It joins our selection of 20th-century Italian lighting, where Fontana Arte and Murano glass sit alongside opaline and chrome.
