For obvious design reasons we were always on the lookout for glass novelties, and this glass was so innovative with its blue tint that gave glass a new identity. For the famous designers we collaborate with it was a unique opportunity to try out this new material for furniture projects.
Glass furniture requires high-quality, easy-to-process and aesthetically appealing glass. All these characteristics can be found in Linea Azzurra, an exclusive clear thick glass with an elegant soft blue-tinted edge, giving it a unique appearance.
FIAM was founded in 1973 in Tavullia, Italy by Vittorio Livi with the goal of making glass a focal point in the world of design. FIAM was the first company to produce designer furniture in curved glass. Thanks to its technology and partnerships with top international designers, FIAM has become a leader in this industry (www.fiamitalia.it/en).
"We were one of the very first companies to use Linea Azzurra in interior design” says Vittorio Livi, founder of FIAM. “For obvious design reasons we were always on the lookout for glass novelties, and this glass was so innovative with its blue tint that gave glass a new identity. For the famous designers we collaborate with it was a unique opportunity to try out this new material for furniture projects.”
Linea Azzurra is an iconic float glass produced at our plant in Cuneo, Italy. It is well known for its slightly blue-tinted edge, unique in Europe. “The colour and high quality of Linea Azzurra are the main reasons we prize this glass so highly,” explains FIAM CEO Daniele Livi. Because of its optimised composition, this glass is very easy to process, even at thicknesses from 8 mm up to 25 mm.
We really appreciate AGC’s management team, their professionalism and their strong human touch. It all works together to meet and exceed our expectations.
But it wasn’t just the glass that won FIAM over… In the last 40 years FIAM has built up a strong relationship with AGC, as explained by Daniele Livi: “We really appreciate AGC’s management team, their professionalism and their strong human touch. It all works together to meet and exceed our expectations.”
