Story

Gallotti & Radice

In 1955, Pierangelo Gallotti and Luigi Radice founded an artistic space dedicated to the decoration of glass. The first works are light fixtures, furnishing objects, mirrors. All unique pieces. All made exclusively by hand.

The two partners understand that we cannot stop at artistic production and decoration and feel the need and desire to expand the collection. Both are involved in the study of applied arts and learn decoration and different techniques by following drawing and decoration courses at the School of Applied Arts of the « Castello Sforzesco » in Milan, understanding in detail all aspects technical and ornamental drawing.

The duo shared a vision of refined craftsmanship and experimentation with materials. Originally known for its decorative objects and unique handmade furniture, Gallotti & Radice would become the first company in Italy to create furniture entirely in crystal glass.
