FontanaArte. House of Glass, curated by Christian Larsen, is a retrospective exhibition that critically examines the legendary Milanese manufacturer of glass furnishings through the production periods of its four great artistic directors: Gio Ponti, Pietro Chiesa, Max Ingrand and Gae Aulenti.
From the time of its foundation by Gio Ponti in 1932 until 1996, when Aulenti left the company, the FontanaArte catalogue traced a historical stylistic arc through 20th century design, from the rational logic of modernism to the playful wit of post-modernism.
Throughout, the company set the standards for Italian design: the seamless continuity between the classical ancient past and the technological present; the perfect marriage of art with industry, the superior quality of materials and hand craftsmanship, and the elevation of the everyday object into the art of living.
The exhibition will follow a course where every gallery will focus on deepening our understanding of each individual designer, culminating in a suite of FontanaArte furnished interiors that evoke a complete Milanese apartment.
The exhibition layout is designed by architect Massimiliano Locatelli.
