A natural form and a timeless symbol of perfection, in which symmetry and asymmetry harmoniously coexist. Designed in 1972, the ‘shell’ of the egg contained a light source: an ironic idea that still works today. As in nature, the shell of the lampUovo is the embodiment of absolute lightness, an elegant form in white satin blown glass that gives off a warm, uniform light. Available in three sizes, it has all the versatility of a collection designed for multiple uses: from the small version, which serves as a tiny utility lamp, to the large version, a veritable light sculpture, the protagonist of any space.
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.
