Sublime the glass, and play with the transparency of a material both noble and popular. This is the avowed aim of GLAS ITALIA, an Italian design house founded in 1970 in Macherio, north of Milan. GLAS ITALIA offers a series of Fountain coffee tables evoking Murano crystal waterfalls, the Specchio di Venere table and its organic style, the postmodern Glass Shelves library #1, and the HYPERtable, like a multi-faceted trompe l'oeil.
