A striking pair of table lamps designed by Max Ingrand for Fontana Arte, Italy, circa 1950s. These sculptural lamps are a quintessential example of Ingrand’s refined aesthetic, blending modernist form with luxurious materials. Each lamp features vertical square prisms of thick beveled crystal glass, elegantly framed by polished chrome accents at the top and base. The architectural structure and impeccable craftsmanship create a captivating interplay of light and transparency. One of the lamps retains the original “FA” sticker (images 6 + 7). Lamp bodies measure 22″ high and 7.5″ square.
Paired with enameled and embossed white drum shades with golden foil interiors, these lamps offer both sophistication and functionality. Their timeless design makes them an ideal addition to interiors ranging from classic mid-century to contemporary.
