Founded by the Arosio family in Brianza Italy, Glas Italia is based on glass craftsmanship and collaboration with designers including Ettore Sottsass and Piero Lissoni. Described by Sottsass as one of the most openminded industrialists he had ever worked with, Glas Italia specialises in producing large glass and crystal plates and invented a system to produce coloured mirror plates. Working with Ettore Sottsass the group produced some of the most dynamic pieces using this new technology. Today the collection continues to be guided by colour.
