PIASTRA GLASS

Just like food, glass can be handmade – and, depending on the recipe, it will yield a beautiful result. Let’s dig in and learn more about piastra glass!

WHAT IS PIASTRA GLASS?

Piastra is an Italian term that means “slab” or “plate”. Piastra glass is pressed into shape, like making a pizza.

Just like adding toppings to a pizza, artisans can use tools like hammers, chisels, wet saws and pliers to change the look of piastra glass.

LIKE A SNOWFLAKE

From ice sculptures to ocean waves and mesmerizing bubbles, piastra glass can create many beautiful looks.

Since so much about piastra glass – thickness, transparency, patterning – is up to the artisan, no two pieces are exactly alike.

DON'T SETTLE FOR ORDINARY

Many light fixtures use clear, thinner glass that is perfectly functional, but not necessarily noteworthy. Piastra glass gives a higher-quality look that doesn’t add a lot to the overall cost.
