F. Deboni, Fontana Arte: Gio Ponti, Pietro Chiesa, Max Ingrand, fig. 409, Allemandi, 2012
Designed in Italy in the 1950s and manufactured by Fontana Arte, this vintage low table mod. 1774 reflects a pioneering exploration of glass, light, and industrial refinement. The composition pairs a painted metal base with brass profiles and a clear glass top, beneath which a concave mirrored glass insert in amber tone creates a remarkable optical depth. The interplay between reflection, transparency, and color transforms the surface into a shifting visual field, where material precision and atmospheric perception converge.
