MAX INGRAND (Bressuire, France, 1908-Paris, 1969) for FONTANA ARTE.
Pair of wall lamps model 1552, 1950s.
Cut glass body with satin-finished glass shades and nickel-plated brass frame.
Measurements: 40 x 20 x 8 cm.
Pair of sconces designed by Max Ingrand for Fontana Arte. They have a cut glass body with satin glass shades and a nickel-plated brass frame. Famous French master glassmaker and decorator, Max Ingrand was artistic director of FontanaArte from 1954 to 1964. During that time he devised true design classics, such as the Fontana table lamp. He was educated at the École nationale supérieure des beaux-arts and the École nationale supérieure des arts décoratifs, studying with Jacques Grüber and Charles Lemaresquier. He was elected president of the Association Française de l'Illumination in 1968. That same year he founded the company Verre Lumière, one of the first producers of halogen lamps. Between the 1940s and 1960s, he created numerous stained glass windows for churches (in some cases replacing those destroyed in the Second World War), including those for Pontoise Cathedral (1955), Strasbourg Cathedral (1956), and the chapels of Blois Castle (1957). He has also worked on important civil buildings.
