Exciting Stained Glasses & Sensorial Statues, ...

Cinquanta’s glass-work house was established in 1959 by Alcide Cinquanta, father of the present owners Omar, Neva and Adam. Today the firm has two centres with different productions: Vizzolo Predabissi concerned with the building industry, furniture and design, and San Donato Milanese where the laboratory of art is located. The story of the glasswork firm is marked by development and constant research. Alcide developed the activity from the sixties onwards and became producer of double-glazing. In 2004 Adam created a glassworks house of art which later, with his brothers’ contribution, was incorporated into the new Cinquanta Glassworks house, a limited liability company, that in 2010 obtained an Industrial Innovation patent (chromefusion), and in 2011 another one for an interesting Utility Model.
In both laboratories, even though with separate productions, basically the target is the creation of art objects and elements of design, such as tables, glasswindows, shower stalls, stairs, etc. Then there are innovative products like the liquid crystal glass which with the help of an electronic machine, may be transformed from opal glass into transparent glass, as required by the user. This product is used in partition structures for offices and open space environments.
Other advanced technological products proposed by the firm are radiant heaters, to be utilised in the place of ordinary metallic heaters, which allow to view the frescoed or decorated walls behind them. Glass with led, in various colours and shapes. Leds are incorporated into the glass, containing no wires. All glasses both those made from drawings and technological ones produced by Cinquanta’s glasswork firm are stratified and made with outstanding security measures, and they are to undergo a strictly ecological production process, thanks to the use of non polluting machinery, equipped with a device for the complete recycling of water and retrieval of the detergents employed for the cleaning of the sheets of glass. Also innovative is the production of stratified glasses, painted in silver and pure gold.
