fontanaarte是意大利历史最悠久的设计品牌之一，由建筑师gio ponti创建于1932年，起初是作为luigi fontana公司的艺术设计室。当时luigi fontana已是玻璃品制造行业中的佼佼者。在使用玻璃的过程中，他意识到将玻璃大量运用于室内家居设计和照明设计会成为一种趋势。
凭着这样的直觉，gio ponti使用玻璃来设计和制造家具、灯具和其他产品，这成为fontanaarte的一个显著特色。从此fontanaarte和建筑设计领域便密不可分了，也邀请设计师们如gae aulenti，pierluigi cerri，david chipperfield，norman foster，vittorio gregotti，steven holl，vico magistretti，dominique perrault，renzo piano，daniela puppa，franco raggi，umberto riva，alvaro siza，ettore sottsass，matteo thun合作设计新产品。
智慧，文化，开放和创新一直是fontanaarte不断追求的品质，自由创新，不断设计出充满创意的产品。同时兼顾合理的价值体现。孜孜追求这些品质的fontanaarte，总是可以把创新和美的元素结合起来，不断的和意大利的年轻设计师们合作，包括marco merendi，alberto zecchini以及国外的设计师如julian pastorino，cecilia suarez，peter christian，future systems。
今天的fontanaarte旗下有fontanaarte 和 fontanaarte architectural两个品牌，在米兰，莫德纳，莫斯科，纽约，巴黎，布拉格和上海开有展厅，而全球的经销商也发展到了1500多家。
