An in-depth knowledge of glass allows to give free interpretation to crativity. Colours, shapes, glass and materials are cintnuously tested. Inspired to nature objects have graceful cuts which
magnifies glass lightness and create soft, luminous effects. Unique colourings and astonishing reflexes are obtained not only mixing oxides and pigments to the glass, but also inserting gold and
silver leaves which give light the ability to play with transparency and opacity.
This collections include very original home-ware: plates, glass, cutlery, bowls, trays, vases, lamps and so on, without limits to fantasy and to the endless potentialities of glass. Refined
and pleasing objects which are also very functional being all dishwasher proof.
Furthermore an extraordinary Bijoux line transforms glass into unique jewels. As all production is hand made able to create pieces with special colours, matching ornaments and sizes on request.
Magic of glass can get into every home. Everyday objects shine with a new splendour, in a very unusual and fascinating dimension: the mystery of glass art.
Mysterious and transparent, glass expresses a timeless appeal. Material with an ethereal appearance, almost unreal, it stays between solid and liquid. Originated from nature it keeps inside itself
the mark of the four elements: extracted from earth, shaped by fire, moulded by air, it takes on diaphanous appearance of water, in a magic alchemy of the opposites.
A centuries old art, simple and precious, with never ending possibilities of utilisation.
The fusion process gives glass a fluids heart, extremely versatile; it allows the artist to give life colourful shapes creating evocative games of light and transparency.
Glass is creative potentiality. Here glass is famous worldwide for its extraordinary appearance as it is marked by an irregular surface, which magnifies lights refractions.
The artistic idea takes shape from semi-refractory casts, a material similar to clay, able to resist to really high temperatures.
The mould where glass will be melted is a piece of art itself, modelled with patience and skills; it anticipates the final shape of the object.
The cast can be used only for five or six fusions and then it has to be rebuilt.
Glass sheet cutting, indispensable for cast fitting, has to be done by hand with a diamond point glass cutter: the shape of the cut is unique.
Glass is then ready to be fused.
Oven temperatures together with fusion and cooling times are performed with the highest care. Its essential to follow precisely the steps of glass tempering in order to prevent heat shock
(hot-cold) which could create fatal flaws in the artefact.
Testing techniques are very important to assess the consistency of the various kind of glass used.
Ovens heat, going through different phases of temperature, can reach 850
