Product description
Pietro Chiesa designed this refined curved glass and brass pendant light for Fontana Arte in Italy during the 1940s. The fixture features a central brass stem supporting two vertical sheets of transparent curved glass that shield the illumination sources. This pendant light exemplifies the technical mastery of glass processing characteristic of the Italian manufacturer. The structure holds two curving arms topped with fluted cream-colored bobeches, adding a textural contrast to the smooth transparency of the shield.
The distinct play between the solid brass elements and the delicate curved glass highlights the sophisticated approach of Pietro Chiesa regarding lighting composition. As artistic director, Pietro Chiesa created objects that balanced Art Deco influences with modern functionality. This pendant light represents a specific transition period in Italian design history. The brass hardware retains a natural patina, emphasizing the authentic vintage nature of the piece produced by Fontana Arte.
