Floor lamp LUMINATOR Brushed Nickel was designed by Pietro Chiesa and was manufactured in Italy for FontanaArte.

 

Luminator is one of the first projects that Pietro Chiesa, then the owner of a workshop in Milan specialised in artistic glasswork, created for FontanaArte, where he would later become artistic director alongside Gio Ponti.

 

The first indirect light floor lamp, Luminator is composed of a thin metal shaft that opens into a cone where the light source is located. A single element resting on a circular base, this is an almost abstract lamp that is by far one of the most extraordinary pieces designed by Pietro Chiesa.

 

This lamp has indirect light and a dimmable switch. Body in brushed nickel-plated metal. Black power cable, dimmer and plug. Plug-in power supply with interchangeable plugs (UK - US - EU - Australia). Integrated LED.

Pietro Chiesa - Design Italy

Designer

Pietro Chiesa

A descendant of an eminent Ticino-based family of artists, he opened his own glass making shop in 1921 after working as an apprentice at the Giannotti glassworks. In the early 1920s, he took part in the Venice Biennale, the Monza Biennale, the Exposition des Arts Décoratifs in Paris and exhibitions in Cologne and Barcelona. His work combines extreme modernity with outstanding technical ability. His creations include the glass windows of the Trieste Stock Exchange, the windows of the Motorship Victoria as well as those of the transatlantic liner Conte di Savoia.In 1932, Pietro Chiesa was asked by Gio Ponti to share in the artistic direction of the newborn FontanaArte, a role that would enable him to give full expression to his creative flair by designing over a thousand different objects (furniture, tables, lamps, glass windows, objets d’art etc). Some of these pieces took their place in the history of design and are still produced by FontanaArte today, such as the Fontana curved table (1932), the Cartoccio vase (1932) and the Luminator floor lamp (1933).
