Pietro Chiesa
A descendant of an eminentTicino-based family of artists, he opened his own glass making shop in 1921after working as an apprentice at the Giannotti glassworks. In the early 1920s,he took part in the Venice Biennale, the Monza Biennale, the Exposition desArts Décoratifs in Paris and exhibitions in Cologne and Barcelona. His workcombines extreme modernity with outstanding technical ability.
His creations include theglass windows of the Trieste Stock Exchange, the windows of the MotorshipVictoria as well as those of the transatlantic liner Conte di Savoia.
In 1932, Pietro Chiesa wasasked by Gio Ponti to share in the artistic direction of the newbornFontanaArte, a role that would enable him to give full expression to hiscreative flair by designing over a thousand different objects (furniture,tables, lamps, glass windows, objets d’art etc). Some of these pieces tooktheir place in the history of design and are still produced by FontanaArte today,such as the Fontana curved table (1932), the Cartoccio vase (1932) and theLuminator floor lamp (1933).
