Italian Etched Glass

Sculpted by light, resistant to fingerprints. Play with depth and reflection for visual impact.

Etched Glass for Aesthetic Privacy or a Soft Welcoming Glow

Partnering with Vitrealspecchi, we offer the Madras^® line’s high-precision Italian patterns—ranging from rigid linear stripes to fluid, biophilic shapes. Vitrealspecchi’s Italian etching techniques diffuse light and add a soft, welcoming glow to interiors. The unique process creates an exquisite material for decoration and privacy, with multiple designs and many levels of transparency available.

Our full flood etched glass options provides uniform light diffusion across a versatile range of textures and intensities. From ultra-sheer blurs to deep, high-opacity options, this spectrum allows architects to precisely calibrate transparency, glare, and privacy.
