keno eye: Fabulous fontana arte

Another name Fontana fans prize is that of French designer Maurice Max–Ingrand (1908–1969), who joined the firm in 1954. The French connection explains why Fontana turns up at Paris flea markets. Shown here is a rare 1950s glass-and-brass chandelier with frosted spikes designed by Max-Ingrand.
