The Story
The Fontana Pendant Light from Santa & Cole is a futuristic icon of 1970s design, conceived by André Ricard as a tribute to the artist Lucio Fontana. Its distinct form features a glossy white metal hemisphere that appears to be ruptured by a clean, illuminated slit near the rim—a nod to Fontana’s slashed canvases. This innovative break in the shade allows a soft, peripheral glow to escape, adding atmospheric depth while the translucent methacrylate diffuser ensures powerful, glare-free downlight. Perfect for dining areas or workspaces, it brings a touch of Space Age sculptural art to modern interiors.
Highlights:
- Features a glossy white metal shade with a translucent methacrylate diffuser
- Designed by in 1970
- Dimmable via 1-10V or DALI systems
