The perfection of glass and the sphere define Pallina, the most essential light fixture in the Fontana Arte collection. Inspired by Italian theatre and Broadway musicals of the 1940s and 1950s, this table lamp is a must-have for every room in the house. In the bedroom, living room or entrance hall, Pallina stands out for the simplicity of its shapes and the elegance of its materials.
Luigi Fontana was founded in Milan in 1881 and specialised in the production of glass panels for the construction industry.
In 1931, the FontanaArte brand was born and achieved instant success, with the 0024 pendant light by Gio Ponti, who was artistic director of FontanaArte at the time. The Bilia table lamp followed with its timeless design thanks to the perfect balance of its dimensions and the understated elegance of the non-reflective materials used. FontanaArte installed a new oven - the only one in Italy - designed to produce glass panels of all curvatures, in order to inject new momentum into the production of prestigious furnishings.
