Magic? No, technology
Known by few, but admired by many. For more than three thousand years the art of glass making has been a dream, a form of imagination, a treasured secret. A transparent vision of life from one of the most precious gifts of nature.
Glass is a form of life. It is remarkable, flexible and can be transformed a thousand times over. A material that keeps on living.
An art where our ambitions can be explored, a prestigious form of design, an object of desire that is constantly challenged by architects and designers, or simply by those who dream of a world of its light and reflections. Glass in all shapes and sizes, cut, painted, sandblasted, laminated, matched, glued and combined with other materials and then finally folded, bent and modelled as required in any way possible, or even impossible. Glass making as known by a small selection of European master craftsmen.
Not a trade but a passion.
Working a sheet of glass is not chore. At least, for us it isn’t.
It is part of a ritual of precision, beauty and harmony that is put into each individual piece. From the first cut to the final product.
When completing our work, for instance, we take great care to use the best machines and technology currently on the market. Many of which have been purposely built with our exclusive patent.
Such devotion guarantees perfection to the smallest detail; this includes each individual piece on each sheet of glass. Once savoured, the taste of perfection is irreplaceable.
There is glass and glass
Moreover, there are infinite applications that achieve limitless results. Variations in shape, functionality, thickness and weight, size and tempering. These differences have made us great specialists in techniques that were once unimaginable.
Such as special lamination, which is by no means simply joining sheets of glass and plastic film together. On the contrary, it is all down to the imagination and can include cloth, fabric and other precious materials to compliment furnishings in a totally unique way.
Or there is hot varnishing, which has been perfected on machines that have been automated, designed and constructed to meet our high demand for quality. And there is also mass milling and grinding, with the final touches being carried out by hand. Water-assisted drilling that does not compromise the molecular structure of the glass, and which creates more “natural” pieces to perfection.
Then finally there are the special production methods. Free expression in graffiti and geometrical patterns, ideal for semi-transparent or darkened glass that is transformed to perfectly compliment furnishings. A perfect example of Made in Italy.
Top marks for the curves
We have dispelled a myth. Glass does not have to be rigid or flat. With us, and in few other places in the world, it will do whatever you want it to do. It bends to the will of its creator. The secret is found in the fire, the heat and, above all, knowing how to measure each element with strategic precision.
When the temperature is right, the glass knows how to portray the emotions of a wave, when it slowly folds under its own weight or when it is carefully bent over by hand. This is a question of time, patience and above all experience. Moreover, we have special ovens specifically constructed to fit large pieces of glass and to comply with a wide variety of moulds. Each mould is individually designed according to the complexity of the object to be created. Rare qualities that belong to the true experimental nature of our world of glass. Master craftsmen who have been constantly refining this art over time and who can confidently express their supremacy in Europe and the world.
