Bilia table lamp, designed by Gio Ponti for FontanaArte, is an Italian design classic from 1932. Bilia combines two essential geometric shapes, a sphere and a cone, in a skilful and balanced manner. The round, frosted glass shade is supported by an upward-tapering metallic base. The timeless combination of two different matte surfaces makes a captivating addition to any space, and thanks to the dimmer, Bilia’s light can be altered between bright general light and soft glow.

Designer
Giovanni "Gio" Ponti (1891–1979) was an Italian architect, industrial and furniture designer and publisher, and one the most influential names of modern design. After receiving his architect’s diploma from Politecnico di Milano University in 1921, Ponti created a versatile career that seamlessly combined architecture and design — in addition to the building and its interior, he often designed the furniture, lighting and even tableware to fit together. In Milan, there are about 40 buildings that Ponti has designed.
