Max Ingrand – monde de la lumière

Max Ingrand (1908-1969) who was the artistic director at Fontana Arte between 1954-1964 and successor of Pietro Chiesa was the man of the impossible. Coming from a tradition of architectural glass design, especially large artisan glass panels and windows which were installed internationally, he became director of Fontana Arte and left a tremendous impact on the Italian company's oeuvre with his blend of experimentalism and tradition. His art was truly timeless and therefore never gets old. We have had some beautiful specimen over the last years and keep collecting.
“…the world of light is coming and it is up to us (...) to make it beautiful, noble…”
