Design: Pietro Chiesa 1932

This wonderful Cartoccio vase was designed back in 1932 by Pietro Chiesa for the Italian design label Fontana Arte. As a master of Italian Art Deco, the designer Pietro Chiesa created an accessory with the Cartoccio vase that is completely in keeping with the spirit of this movement and at the same time has lost none of its modernity and relevance to this day.

Founded in 1932, FontanaArte is one of the Italian design companies that has contributed to the “history of lamps and interior design” in Italy and in the world. Born from the idea of an architect, the company has always worked closely with the design sector, gradually involving the most important Italian and international architects and lighting designers who, together with the company, have built a real cultural project on architecture, lighting and interior design. A culture of design based on the use of precious materials (primarily glass) has had its main idea in the interaction between technology and beauty, giving rise to a series of timeless objects of splendid shapes, some of which have become design classics exhibited in the most important museums in the world. Since December 2010, FontanaArte can count on a solid industrial base and on the new international impulse of Nice SpA, a group that designs, manufactures and markets systems for the automation of gates, garage doors, road barriers and parking systems, sunshades and wireless alarm systems: an ideal meeting between two guarantors of Made in Italy quality that have always focused on design and innovation for the home.
