Santambrogio Milano - Corner Bed

Clearly fans of clarity, Santambrogio Milano designs furniture and architecture from glass. With the Simplicity line, the Italian studio incorporates this aesthetic into living spaces, flooding them with transparent shapes. The collection uses an ultra-clear glass called Diamant by Saint Gobain; the glass is laminated, and then tempered to ensure safety. The studio has patented the nearly invisible, transparent joints that it uses to connect the glass sheets, which enable it to eliminate supporting elements. The project began in 2004 with a table, bench, and kitchen made entirely of clear glass—quite a feat, considering that even the sink, faucet, and cook top had to make the clear cut. Four years later, the collection spans a variety of seating, including a bench, sofa, chaise lounge, bed, and modular sofa bed. The studio has even used this treatment in public spaces and for outdoor furniture. 39-02-76020788; santambrogiomilano.it. circle 402
