After extensive studies on light and electricity, Mariano Fortuny developed in his Venetian palace a system of concave reflectors intended to reduce glare. This innovation ultimately led him, a few years later, to the creation of the 1903 Lamp.
Ecart
Founded in Paris in 1978 by Andrée Putman, Ecart International was among the first companies dedicated to rediscovering and reissuing the work of overlooked pioneers of early twentieth-century modern design. Through meticulous research and a distinctive curatorial vision, the brand brought iconic creations by designers such as Pierre Chareau, Jean-Michel Frank, Eileen Gray, and Robert Mallet-Stevens back into production, playing a key role in their international revival. Alongside its historic reissues, Ecart International developed collaborations with contemporary designers and its own creative studio, establishing a lasting reputation for timeless modernity, refined craftsmanship, and understated elegance.
Mariano Fortuny
Mariano Fortuny (1871–1949). Born in Granada and based in Venice, Fortuny combined art, craftsmanship, and innovation across disciplines including painting, photography, lighting design, textiles, fashion, and interior decoration. From his atelier in the Palazzo Pesaro Orfei, he developed pioneering textile techniques and iconic printed and pleated fabrics that remain at the heart of the brand today. Renowned for his timeless vision and technical ingenuity, Fortuny left a lasting influence on design, theater, and decorative arts.
