Why Glass Design
Murano masters at work
The brand works with about 15 Murano glassmakers and more than 200 Tuscan artisans. Each blown basin is made by hand, so no 2 pieces are identical.
Crystal cut by hand
Cristallo de' Medici is 24% lead crystal, mouth-blown and then bevelled on stone by hand. The same crystal is used for basins, tap handles and accessories.
VetroFreddo, its own material
VetroFreddo combines glass pigments and resins. It takes sculptural forms that blown glass cannot, in opaque, matt and gloss colours as well as gold- and silver-leaf finishes.
Tuscan since 1984
Founded in 1984 by the Borsellini family in Vinci, after a long tradition in artistic glass. It has worked with designers such as Karim Rashid and Marco Pisati.
