Description

Max Ingrand (1908–1969) was one of the leading figures in 20th-century lighting and design, renowned for redefining light as both an architectural and aesthetic element. As artistic director of Fontana Arte from 1954 to 1967, he led the brand into a new era of innovation, creating iconic lighting pieces distinguished by elegance, functionality, and masterful use of glass and materials.

Among his most notable creations is the large chandelier model 1881, an outstanding example of Max Ingrand’s design vision. Crafted in curved pink glass, this chandelier combines visual lightness with a strong sculptural presence, diffusing a warm and sophisticated glow. This model is extremely rare, and in this significant 90 cm size it represents a unique piece, making it highly valuable for collectors and high-end interior design projects. The refined glass craftsmanship—hallmark of Fontana Arte—enhances the material and chromatic qualities of the design, making it ideal for prestigious residential and contract environments.

Fontana Arte, a historic Italian lighting brand, is internationally recognized as a benchmark in high-end lighting design. Thanks to Max Ingrand’s creative direction, the company established a distinctive identity based on formal research, artisanal quality, and technological innovation.
