Un globe d'opaline blanche, attribué à Max Ingrand pour Fontana Arte

Tout commence par un globe. L'opaline blanche, d'un mat satiné, s'arrondit en une panse pleine posée sur un socle circulaire ajouré d'une couronne de petits trous, puis se resserre en un col court qui disparaît sous un haut abat-jour conique. Le tissu, d'un blanc légèrement grisé à la trame visible, n'est pas celui d'origine. Le verre laiteux a la douceur d'une porcelaine et semble fait pour diffuser plutôt que pour éblouir. Sur le cordon noir, un petit boîtier à trois touches commande le triple allumage.

La galerie attribue la lampe à Max Ingrand pour Fontana Arte, le titre écrivant Imgrand. Né en 1908, mort en 1969, Ingrand vient du vitrail ; selon plusieurs sources, il prend en 1954 la direction artistique de la maison milanaise et la conserve jusqu'en 1967. Fontana Arte était née à Milan en 1932 autour de Gio Ponti, Luigi Fontana et Pietro Chiesa. C'est pour elle qu'Ingrand dessine en 1954 la lampe Fontana, en verre blanc soufflé, dont le globe et l'abat-jour s'éclairent séparément. Le modèle exact de cet exemplaire reste à identifier.

Read in English

It begins with a globe. White opaline, satin-matt, swells into a full, rounded body set on a circular base pierced with a ring of small holes, then narrows to a short neck that vanishes beneath a tall conical shade. The fabric, a slightly greyed white with a visible weave, is not the original. The milky glass has the softness of porcelain and seems made to diffuse light rather than to dazzle. On the black flex, a small box with three keys controls the triple lighting.

The gallery attributes the lamp to Max Ingrand for Fontana Arte, the title spelling the name Imgrand. Born in 1908, died in 1969, Ingrand came from stained glass; according to several sources he took up the artistic direction of the Milanese house in 1954 and held it until 1967. Fontana Arte had been founded in Milan in 1932 around Gio Ponti, Luigi Fontana and Pietro Chiesa. It was for this house that Ingrand designed the Fontana lamp in 1954, in blown white glass, its globe and shade lit separately. The exact model of this example remains to be identified.

To be validated
  • Attribution à Max Ingrand et à Fontana Arte publiée par la galerie, sans validation indépendante ; aucune marque ni étiquette n'est mentionnée dans la fiche.
  • Le titre orthographie Imgrand ; il s'agit très probablement de Max Ingrand mais la fiche ne le confirme pas.
  • Modèle exact non identifié ; la fiche ne dit pas si la lampe est une édition de l'époque ou plus tardive.
  • Dimensions données par la fiche sans unité (diamètre 50, hauteur 80), non vérifiées.
  • Abat-jour en tissu non d'origine selon la fiche ; conformité électrique et système de triple allumage non vérifiés.
  • Les sources divergent sur le début de la direction artistique d'Ingrand (1948 selon Wikipédia italien, 1954 selon d'autres), d'où la formulation prudente.
