Fontana Arte's Lunaire is a wall lamp and ceiling lamp that produces a surprising lighting effect, recalling the phenomenon produced by an eclipse. A small front disk containing the light source is placed inside a large aluminium concave diffuser. Two different effects can be created according to the position of the small disk in relation to the diffuser: a backlight when the front disk is closed, i.e. pushed to the wall, or from the inside of the diffuser when the disk is drawn forward. Simply pull or push the rod to the front of the disk to instantly change the light emission as needed. With its large-diameter diffuser, Lunaire is the perfect lighting solution for large surfaces, whether residential or business.

FONTANA ARTE
Luigi Fontana was founded in Milan in 1881 and specialised in the production of glass panels for the construction industry.
In 1931, the FontanaArte brand was born and achieved instant success, with the 0024 pendant light by Gio Ponti, who was artistic director of FontanaArte at the time. The Bilia table lamp followed with its timeless design thanks to the perfect balance of its dimensions and the understated elegance of the non-reflective materials used. FontanaArte installed a new oven - the only one in Italy - designed to produce glass panels of all curvatures, in order to inject new momentum into the production of prestigious furnishings.
