Gallotti & Radice: two minds, one ambition, one desire.
The will to create, transform and interpret.
A shared passion: for glass.
This is how the ideas studio was born.
It was in 1955 that Pierangelo Gallotti and Luigi Radice established an artistic space dedicated to glass decoration.
Tradition and innovation came together to enable small-scale yet precious production.
The first pieces included lighting appliances, furnishing items, mirrors.
They were all one-off pieces made exclusively by hand
Gallotti&Radice; was the first company in Italy, right from the early seventies, to promote their love for the studio and the use of glass within furniture arrangements.
Other people and companies later followed suit.
This fact, presently and only naturally provides an advantage, but at the same time, also signifies a sense of responsibility in light of culture and specifically, design.
Gallotti&Radice; is aware of this, and has presently assumed the task and role of continuing, keeping alive, the development of "genuine" glass designs.
Glass, which is simultaneously extremely fragile and strong, transparent and unchangeable, light and enduring,
must be tackled, by those designing architectural arrangements, with sincere respect and careful handling,
with authentic poetry and with intense discipline, with patience, reverence, tenacity. With love.
Urban Icon are proud to present the creations of these Italian Designers. Their glass tables, storage and mirrors are the ultimate accessories for any designer home.
