VENEZIA ARTE AT THE MILAN FURNITURE FAIR 2011 THE APPEAL OF GLASS PIONEERS A NEW MATERIAL CONCEPT

At the Material ConneXion space at the International Furniture Fair in Milan, Venezia Arte is showcasing its glass collections, unique customised pieces that lend shape and colour to imagination

12 April 2011 – At the International Furniture Fair in Milan from 12 to 17 April, Venezia Arte is showcasing its decorated glass collections, products that offer a journey through the world of colour and creativity. Vivid, exciting colours enhance the beauty of glass and provide new and highly customised solutions for the world of interior design.
The Venezia Arte glass tile collections are displayed in the Material ConneXion space, a major international showcase aimed at interior and furnishing designers in search of the most innovative proposals for architecture.

Visitors to the show can admire the latest lines, Creativity and Make Up, which offer highly customised solutions for interior surface coverings with potential for creating totally unique pieces.
Creativity is a glass tile line that uses a patented production process based on high-resolution UV printing to transfer a photographic quality image directly onto the glass.
The Make Up series offers an unlimited tonal range with plain or pearlescent fields of colour. The collection is available with two surface finishes, one perfectly smooth and neutral and the other skilfully textured to enhance the sheen effect.
The glass can be shaped by waterjet cutting to further customise the end result.
At the Milan Furniture Fair Venezia Arte is also showcasing its Metalli, Pietre Preziose and Rilievi collections. The Metalli and Pietre Preziose floor and wall tile collections are elegant, sophisticated furnishing solutions in which the transparency of the glass is enhanced by the use of precious raw materials such as gold, silver, copper and platinum. The Rilievi extra-white low-relief glass tile collection offers new expressive and design freedom based on transparency and chiaroscuro effects, further refined by sinuous floral decorations.
