Fontana Chandelier: Monumental Contemporary Murano Glass Lighting
Fontana brings the expressive possibilities of Murano glass into a striking contemporary lighting design.
Unlike traditional Venetian chandeliers characterized by elaborate floral decoration and upward-facing lights, Fontana adopts a more architectural approach.
Its sleek arms, downward-facing lights and imposing vertical proportions create a composition that feels modern while retaining the distinctive character of handcrafted Venetian glass.
A Chandelier Designed Around Scale
Fontana is available in two versions: 120 cm or 200 cm high, both with a diameter of 100 cm.
These generous proportions make the chandelier particularly suited to interiors where lighting needs to contribute to the architecture itself.
The taller version creates an especially dramatic vertical presence, making it an appealing option for double-height living spaces, grand entrances, stairwells and large contemporary interiors.
Rather than spreading decorative elements across an excessively wide structure, Fontana uses its height to create impact.
A Contemporary Interpretation of Venetian Lighting
The chandelier's defining design features are its streamlined glass arms and downward-facing lights.
This approach creates a different visual rhythm from conventional Murano chandeliers.
The glass arms establish the structure, while the downward orientation of the lights emphasizes the vertical composition and gives the design a more architectural character.
The result is decorative lighting that feels appropriate for contemporary homes, hospitality environments and interiors where clean lines are preferred over traditional ornament.
Handcrafted by Roberto Beltrami and His Team
Fontana is entirely handcrafted in Wave's Murano furnace by Roberto Beltrami and his team of glassmakers.
The chandelier's substantial proportions make the relationship between its individual glass elements especially important. Each component contributes to the overall composition, bringing together handcrafted glass and functional lighting at an architectural scale.
Fontana can also be produced upon commission, making it relevant for interior design projects that require a considered lighting statement.
Make Lighting the Centre of the Interior
A chandelier of this scale does more than illuminate a room.
It establishes a visual focal point, influences how the surrounding architecture is perceived and becomes part of the identity of the space.
Fontana is particularly compelling when paired with contemporary furniture, restrained materials and generous architectural volumes that allow its full silhouette to be appreciated.
Choose Fontana when the room deserves a defining feature rather than simply another light fixture. Its monumental proportions and sculptural glasswork can turn an open interior into a space with a clear, memorable identity.
