The story of FontanaArte and its natural relationship with glass and light coincides with the birth and growth of Italian design, pioneered by Gio Ponti and his instinctive promotion of a new cultural unity in the industrial age. FontanaArte took form in 1932 as a way to nurture the imagination and inventiveness of new generations of architects, artists, and decorators with the material qualities and plasticity of glass. The timeless spirit, a balance between art and industry, is the same that inspires FontanaArte’s contemporary production, an equilibrium of clarity and durability.
