Glas Italia contributed to the growing trend for coloured glass furniture in Milan this year, adding to products from its range last year such as frosted glass tables with coloured edges by Nendo and a series of iridescent furniture by Patricia Urquiola.

As part of the trend, Urquiola also showed a cabinet with stained glass doors, while Ini Archibong presented tables with coloured, blown-glass legs.

Glas Italia's launches this year are based around the concept of illusion; using glass that is mirrored, coloured and moulded to play with the senses. Layers by Nendo
Prism, a mirrored dividing screen by Japanese designer Tokujin Yoshioka, is one of the stand out pieces from the 2016 collection.
