The FontanaArte Bianca ceiling and wall lamp is a mouth-blown, milk-white glass diffuser with a fine ribbed surface that fills the room with a warm, soft glow.
Bianca is a family of luminaires with the decoration on the diffuser surface features an orderly series of shallow delicate grooves etched into the white glass, yielding an effect resembling small footprints on fresh snow.
The Design Story
Matti Klenell designed the Bianca family for FontanaArte in 2015. The diffusers are mouth blown, belt sanded and dipped in acid to obtain the distinctive "silk effect" typical of fine glassware, and the matt white coating on the metal supports echoes the name and color of the glass.
About the Designer
Since graduating from Konstfack in Stockholm in 1999, Matti Klenell has worked on design commissions for manufacturers in Europe and Asia, including Iittala, NakNak, Källemo, Moooi, Bals Tokyo, Muuto and Örsjö. Alongside this he has developed his own language as a glass artist, with several solo exhibitions and public art commissions. The two tracks of his profession often influence each other, and the mix of art, craft and design characterizes his work, a personal, innovative take on the Scandinavian design tradition.

Frequently Asked Questions: FontanaArte Bianca Ceiling/Wall Lamp by Matti Klenell
Who designed the FontanaArte Bianca ceiling/wall lamp?
The FontanaArte Bianca ceiling/wall lamp was designed by Matti Klenell in 2015. Klenell graduated from Konstfack in Stockholm in 1999 and works as both a designer and a glass artist, and the Bianca family reflects that mix of art, craft and design, a personal take on the Scandinavian design tradition made in Milano by FontanaArte.
Can the FontanaArte Bianca be mounted on the wall or the ceiling?
Both. The FontanaArte Bianca ceiling/wall lamp is offered for either wall or ceiling mounting, so the same milk-white glass diffuser can be used flush overhead or as a wall light. An instruction sheet for the Bianca family is linked in the documents above for installation details.
How is the Bianca glass diffuser made?
Each Bianca diffuser is mouth blown in milk-white glass, then belt sanded and dipped in acid to obtain the "silk effect" typical of fine glassware. Its surface carries an orderly series of shallow, delicate grooves that FontanaArte likens to small footprints on fresh snow. The painted metal frame has a matt white coating that echoes the glass.
What sizes does the FontanaArte Bianca ceiling/wall lamp come in?
The Bianca ceiling/wall lamp comes in Medium and Large. The Medium measures 7.9 in (20.1 cm) wide by 11.8 in (30.0 cm) high. The technical drawing in the image gallery shows the figures for both sizes.
What light source does the Bianca ceiling/wall lamp use?
The Medium Bianca ceiling/wall lamp is rated 16 W and 1650 lumens, at a warm 2700 K with a CRI above 80. The Large takes one E26 bulb, up to 116 W, at 110 V, and the bulb is not included. Both sizes are dimmable.
What kind of light does the FontanaArte Bianca give?
The Bianca gives a warm, diffused and enveloping light. The satin-finished, ribbed milk-white glass spreads the source evenly across the whole diffuser, so the lamp glows softly rather than casting a direct beam. It is rated IP20, for dry indoor locations.
Is the Bianca ceiling/wall lamp part of a larger family?
Yes. The ceiling/wall lamp is one of a family of thirteen Bianca luminaires by Matti Klenell, all sharing the same ribbed, milk-white mouth-blown glass and matt white metal. That shared language makes it easy to carry the Bianca look from room to room in a contemporary or Scandinavian-leaning interior.
