Maurice Max-Ingrand, better known as Max Ingrand, was a French artist, designer and decorator born in 1908 in Bressuire, France, and died in 1969 in Paris. Ingrand studied in Paris at the French University École Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts and the École Nationale Supérieure des Arts Décoratifs. During this period he was educated by the well-known French glass artists Jaques Grüber and Charles Lemaresquier. In 1937 he participated in the design of the windows of the church of Notre-Dame de Paris. In the period 1954-1967 Ingrand was artistic director of the Italian design company FontanaArte. FontanaArte is an Italian lighting and design company founded in 1931 in Milan, Italy. Founded by the two well-known Italian architects and designers Giovanni Ponti and Pietro Chiesa.
