Item Description

An exceptional example of Italian modernist lighting design, the Model 0836 table lamp by Pietro Chiesa for Fontana Arte embodies the timeless elegance and material sophistication for which both designer and manufacturer are celebrated. Characterized by its refined proportions and architectural clarity, the lamp combines luxurious materials with a restrained aesthetic that feels distinctly modern even decades after its creation. The interplay of glass and finely crafted metal elements creates a subtle balance between lightness and structure, a hallmark of Pietro Chiesa’s pioneering approach to decorative arts and lighting design. Produced by Fontana Arte in Italy, this piece reflects the company’s legacy of combining artisanal craftsmanship with innovative modern design. The lamp emits a warm and atmospheric light, making it equally suitable as functional lighting or as a sculptural statement within an interior. A highly collectible and sophisticated design object, ideal for collectors of Italian modernism and iconic 20th-century lighting. This lamp is checked in our workshop, cleaned and is suitable for use in the USA. For US usage we will include an adapter plug so you can keep the piece completely original.
