Description

The elegance of the 1940s emerges when observing this floor lamp created from a pendant attributed to Pietro Chiesa for Fontana Arte.

Height of the glass disc 15 cm and diameter 40 cm. It has 2 E14 screw bulbs. New wiring installed compatible with UK EUROPE USA. , even with LED bulbs.

Pietro Chiesa Descendant of an illustrious Ticino family of artists, after a period of apprenticeship with the glassmaker Giannotti in 1921 he opened his own workshop for glass processing. In the early 1920s he participated in the Monza Biennale, the Venice Biennale, the Exposition des Arts Décoratifs in Paris and the exhibitions in Cologne and Barcelona.

In his work, he combines extreme modernity and high technical skill. He creates the stained glass windows of the Trieste Stock Exchange, those of the motor ship Victoria and the transatlantic Conte di Savoia. In 1932 he was called by Gio Ponti to share the artistic direction of the newborn FontanaArte, a role that will give him the opportunity to express all his creativity, designing over a thousand different objects, today many of which have become design icons.

Pietro Chiesa Discendente da una illustre famiglia ticinese di artisti, dopo un periodo di apprendistato presso il vetraio Giannotti apre nel 1921 una propria bottega per la lavorazione del vetro. Nei primi anni ‘20 partecipa alla Biennale di Monza, alla Biennale di Venezia, all’Exposition des Arts Décoratifs di Parigi e alle esposizioni di Colonia e Barcellona.
