Gallotti & Radice perfects the art of large-scale minimalism with their dining tables utilising clean, sleek lines. The use of clear and smoked glass in the Platium table creates a sophisticated, almost ethereal appearance. The combination of glass with metal accents, particularly in gold or brass finishes, adds warm classic luxury to the otherwise modern designs. If you're looking to go a step further and Fiam Italia's Luxor dining table is a veritable masterpiece of glasswork. Containing a combination of naturally flowing cylinders that support a gorgeous sheet of glass.

Glas Italia’s coffee tables are a celebration of playful geometry, featuring bold shapes and unexpected angles. This year, the focus is on transparency and colour contrast, with many designs incorporating clear and tinted glass in striking combinations. This is emphasised perfectly in the Shimmer coffee table.

Alternatively, Fiam Italia continues to explore organic, flowing shapes in their coffee tables, which are often inspired by natural elements. The surface the Waves coffee table a are a perfect example of highlighting how nature and the world beyond four walls can inspire the furniture that lives with us. It features a sequence of ocean coloured ridges that display nautical beauty throughout the collection.

Brokis remains at the forefront of lighting design with their poetic, hand-blown glass lights that blend artisanal craftsmanship with the efficiency of modern technology. Their lighting collections focus on organic shapes and natural materials. There is a noticeable trend toward using opal glass, which diffuses light softly, creating a warm, inviting ambiance with pieces such as the Geometric collection, that utilises beautiful shapes and unique patterns to match the inviting glow of the light itself.

While they traditionally work with glass, they recently have begun the integration of wood with their pieces to further display their ability mix of the delicate and the durable, this can be seen in the new wooden version of their flagship 'Muffins Lamp,' a beautiful collaboration between two materials synonymous with luxury interiors.
