A company built on glass

Gallotti&Radice says it was the first company in Italy, from the early 1970s, to promote the use of glass in furniture. Its first table, Adam, was designed by the architect Luigi Massoni and presented in 1971: it is made from 15 mm transparent glass, with bases in 15 mm glass curved by fire and bevelled by hand.

Two production lines run side by side. An industrialised line uses water-jet cutting, industrial grinding and sheet tempering for modular and serial components; a hand-crafted line produces sought-after forms and customised pieces, where craftsmen work the glass by hand.
