1970s furniture and lighting by Fontana Arte, Italy

Fontana Arte is an Italian design company founded in Milan in 1933 by Luigi Fontana, Gio Ponti, and Pietro Chiesa. The company's first products were glass objects, including lighting fixtures, vases, and sculptures. In the 1950s, Fontana Arte began to produce furniture, including chairs, tables, and sofas.

In the 1970s, Fontana Arte was led by the architect Gae Aulenti. Aulenti was a major figure in the Italian design scene, and she helped to shape the company's aesthetic during this period. Her designs were characterized by their bold shapes, bright colors, and use of new materials.

•    The Parola chandelier, designed by Aulenti in 1972. This chandelier is made of white opaline glass and features a series of overlapping discs that create a striking visual effect.

•    The Giova table lamp, designed by more... Aulenti in 1973. This lamp is made of white opaline glass and features a cylindrical base and a truncated cone shade.

•    The Tavolo con Ruote coffee table, designed by Aulenti in 1974. This table is made of glass and steel and features a round top and a wheeled base.
