●内容简介——

《FontanaArte. 玻璃之家》一书通过其四位伟大的艺术总监所领导的生产时期，批判性地研究了这家传奇的米兰玻璃家具制造商。Gio Ponti（1932-1933，此后持续参与）、Pietro Chiesa（1933-1948）、Max Ingrand（1954-1967）和Gae Aulenti（1979-1996）。从Ponti在1932年创立公司到Aulenti在1996年离开，本目录--在威尼斯的主要展览之际出版--通过二十世纪的设计，从现代主义的理性逻辑到后现代主义的俏皮诙谐，追踪FontanaArte的历史风格弧线。自始至终，该公司为意大利设计设定了标准：古代经典与现在技术之间的无缝衔接；艺术与工业的完美结合；材料和手工工艺的卓越品质；以及将日常用品提升为一种奢华的生活艺术。

本书由Christian Larsen编辑，分为几个章节，重点是加深我们对每个设计师（Gio Ponti e Pietro Chiesa；Max Ingrand；Gae Aulenti）的理解，以及 "玻璃之家 "部分，旨在唤起一个只用FontanaArte的物品来布置的家庭空间。

展览目录中的评论文章（作者：Renata Codello, Christian Larsen, Kellie Riggs, Pierre Martin-Vivier, Andrew Gardner）描述了一个复杂的关系网络，表达了 "Vivere nel vetro [Living in Glass]"的理念，追溯了大部分新的未知的发现之旅，开放给调查和研究，导致更深刻的理解。

FontanaArte. House of Glass is a book that critically examines the legendary Milanese manufacturer of glass furnishings through the production periods lead by its four great artistic directors: Gio Ponti (1932–1933, with continuous involvement thereafter), Pietro Chiesa (1933–1948), Max Ingrand (1954–1967), and Gae Aulenti (1979-1996). From Ponti’s founding of the company in 1932 until Aulenti’s departure in 1996, the present catalogue – published on the occasion of the major exhibition in Venice – traces FontanaArte’s historical stylistic arc through twentieth-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 a luxurious art of living.

Edited by Christian Larsen, the book follows a course divided in chapters focusing on deepening our understanding of each individual designer (Gio Ponti e Pietro Chiesa; Max Ingrand; Gae Aulenti), and the section “House of Glass” meant to evoke a domestic space furnished only with objects by FontanaArte.

The critical essays contained in the exhibition catalogue (by Renata Codello, Christian Larsen, Kellie Riggs, Pierre Martin-Vivier, Andrew Gardner) describe a complex network of relationships expressing the idea of “Vivere nel vetro [Living in Glass]”, tracing mostly new uncharted journeys of discovery, open to investigation and research and leading to deeper insights.
