Fiam Glass Between Art And Design For Luxury Furnishings

The "Lateral Thinking of Glass": a Philosophy Before a Method

Every Fiam product is born from a question that few dare to ask: how far can glass be pushed? Bent, curved, fused, sculpted — transparent, smoked, opaque, coloured — in the hands of Fiam, glass ceases to be a fragile material and becomes load-bearing structure, narrative surface, inhabitable sculpture. From this research emerge the most iconic pieces in the brand's history — objects that astonish through their formal purity and the visual lightness that only glass can give.
In 2018, Vittorio Livi and his son Daniele Livi introduced DV-GLASS® technology: a patented innovation that unlocks unprecedented thicknesses in glass processing, opening a new design chapter for the brand.

The Great Designers Who Shaped Fiam Glass

The history of Fiam is also a history of encounters with designers who accepted — as Vittorio Livi did — the challenge of working with a material that forgives no mistakes and admits no compromise. Every collaboration has produced pieces that have entered the history of contemporary design:

• Cini Boeri & Tomu Katayanagi: designed in 1987 the Ghost Armchair — the world's first monolithic armchair made from a single sheet of 1.2 cm thick glass, presented at the Salone del Mobile 1987
• Philippe Starck: designed the Caadre mirror — a curved glass frame that challenges the boundary between furniture and artwork
• Marcel Wanders: created the Echo collection, comprising a display cabinet and a sideboard in curved glass
• Daniel Libeskind, Massimiliano Fuksas: two giants of international architecture who brought to Fiam the tectonic complexity of their design language, translated into glass
• Enzo Mari, Vico Magistretti, Giorgetto Giugiaro: icons of Italian design who chose Fiam glass as the medium for some of their most refined creations

Iconic Pieces: When Glass Enters Museums

Few furniture brands can claim products permanently exhibited in the world's most authoritative cultural institutions. Fiam can. The Ghost Armchair, together with the Illusion and Tango collections, is on permanent display at The Corning Museum of Glass in New York. The sculpture "Tavole della Legge" by Emilio Isgrò, made in Fiam glass, resides at the Galleria Nazionale d'Arte Moderna in Rome. The crucifix "Gesù, energia del mondo" was donated to the Pope. These are objects that transcend the category of furniture and become cultural testimonies of an era.

Fiam Collections: Glass Design Furniture at Reserved Prices

The Fiam range covers every aspect of interior design — from living to dining, from mirrors to storage — with a stylistic coherence that makes every piece immediately recognisable. Discover the available Fiam collections:

• Ghost Armchair (Cini Boeri & Tomu Katayanagi, 1987): the absolute icon — a single sheet of 1.2 cm curved glass that becomes a seat. The first monolithic glass object in the history of design
• Caadre Mirror (Philippe Starck): a curved glass frame that redefines the very concept of the mirror — between art and furniture, between reflection and presence
• Echo Collection (Marcel Wanders): a display cabinet and sideboard in organic curved glass forms — a storage piece that does not want to hide, but to be seen
• Coral Beach Table: a glass top with a sinuous form inspired by coral reefs — a table that narrates nature through the most transparent material in existence
• Ragno and Ponte Tables: historic pieces in the Fiam catalogue — structure and top in glass that engage in formal balances of extraordinary visual lightness
• Mirrors, display cabinets, coffee tables, and accessories: the full Fiam range for living, dining, and bedroom — in curved, fused, sculpted, transparent, smoked, opaque, or coloured glass
