FontanaArte, 90 years of Light and Art: Milano Design Week 2022 Via San Marco 26


6-12 June 2022_Founded in 1932 in Milan from an intuition of Gio Ponti, #fontanaarte is preparing to celebrate almost a century of history.

The “Arte” that Ponti added to the company name is the key to an identity that exists beyond any single serial product. The history of #fontanaarte intersects with that of immense personalities in their genius and creativity such as Gio Ponti, Pietro Chiesa, Max Ingrand and Gae Aulenti who, in their role as artistic directors, guided the company and contributed to the birth of iconic projects recognised throughout the world. 

In partnership with Casa d'Aste Cambi, #fontanaarte is in Via San Marco 26 with an installation realised by the brand's artistic director, architect Francesco Librizzi, with the graphic contribution of Pupilla Grafik

Photographer Roselena Ramistella interpreted the #light of #fontanaarte by creating a photo exhibition curated by ZERO.

Illuminating a city is never just a question of lumens. Rather, it is about skills and charm, in short: people. Who are the faces, the creative people, the artists of today and also the historical figures of the city? This is the question #fontanaarte asked itself for its 90th anniversary. The answer is in the exhibition of portraits, in partnership with ZERO, by photographer Roselena Ramistella, with the aim of clarifying who are the lights that illuminate the city of #design. FontanaArte, 90 Years of #light and Art is a photo exhibition that brings together, for the first time, the people who make concepts and stories shine like the blinding lights of summer
