Sand and minerals are our raw material, from the
fusion of these we get glass. In a dedicated factory,
stainless steel processing takes place, in which cages
that will act as a disposable mould are produced.
Our products take shape from a stainless steel frame
inside which the glass is blown. The production of
blown glass is carried out according to the ancient
artisan techniques of Murano.
The glass production cycle is complex and
consists of four phases (mixture preparation,
melting, refining, cooling to reach the processing
temperature).
Once these four phases have been completed, it is
possible to proceed with the processing. In order to
obtain particular finishes, before blowing, the glass
is sometimes inserted in a mold that imprints the
texture. The glass, blown by the master glassmaker
inside the stainless steel frame, inflates until it
assumes the desired shape.
Once this process is completed, the product is
introduced into the tempering, which allows
cooling avoiding breakage. Only when the glass
has cooled can the following processes be carried
out: cutting, grinding and drilling, depending on
Productive cycle
