It has been the famous 60’s and 70’s to definitely launch Design on

the International scene. These years have seen incredible turmoil

and many changes. Thanks to the youth’s need for globalization, a

new social conscience was born and, with this, the desire for a bet-

ter world, more permissiveness, and an incredible progress in mass

communication.

At the same time, new design Magazines dictated the newest

trends on fine art, way of living and design in general. Along with

them, Design Schools were born,

that especially during the 70’s, did

focus on transforming philosophies

and new ways of life into objects,

furniture and decorations. Famous

artists explored the venue of

Design, and many Designers that of

artistic furniture.

Design Magazines were also the

ones to divulgate the pure geome-

trical shapes and the logic of Design

typical of the northern European

countries influenced by the

Japanese aesthetic. The Space Era

that introduced the concept of

Futurism and Modular Design also

gave a vast and rich font of inspira-

tion. Fabric, wallpaper, and decors

in general, they all represented dynamic and unit theme with

strong primary colors.

It is from these elements that the Glass

3

Collection takes its shaping

strength, and inspired by the Graffiti of that time, it reproduces

them in the beautiful form of Mosaic.

The material is glass and the light that shines trough it.

Clear or opaque but always trough a combination of colors, Glass

creates rigid, geometrical structures that interact, intersect and run

after one another, constantly creating identical and, at the

same time, different shapes. Kaleidoscopic is the creative effect! It

is the fusion of order and chaos that gives basic forms to the

Glass

3

Collection.

As Bruno Munari says: structure is the balance of many forces. The

human eye is indeed capable of recognizing lines and surfaces that

make up the single drawing. But it is only with colors that such

shapes become

meaningful; light is amplified and exalted by both transparences

and irradiant surfaces, finding unexpected space. Also from the 60’s

and the 70’s is the search for interiors filled with light and colors.

The most innovative aspect is, though, to present bright and lumi-

nous mosaic decors, not just a copy of what has been used and

seen before, but a new and modern art, an art that reflects the

actual way of living and how today’s people see Design. All of that

and much more, the incredible artistic and artisan content, an

incredible added value to whoever is able to recognize beauty and

uniqueness. Interior space has here

a new sense and form.

Above anything else, the choice of

Glass, a natural and safe material,

capable of “embracing” space

without comprising it, of making it

breathe, expanding and opening it.

Then the decors: anthropomorphic

and linear forms that intersect in an

endless following of lines, circles,

intervals, and curves. All with a

clear characteristic: the decors so

planned do give interior areas an

“enlarged”, extended sense of

space.

At the end, strong colors and reso-

lute, innovative, solar or intimate

tones that play around contrasts or

tone over tone.

Thus the perfect decoration for an interior space comes from the

union of the Glass

3

Collection with solid colors rich of different and

exclusive tones.

Can décor mosaic be used both on floors and/or walls? Would it be

combined with a solid color that will complete it? Maybe! All

surfaces covered with Glass

3

have a very strong and personalized

optical effect.

Interior spaces become, therefore, modern and futuristic, presti-

gious and exclusive, with unique combinations...a new art form!

Art is always contemporary: it is not something that periodically

perishes, it has nothing to do with time.
