 VILCA


Hand made crystal, this is today Vilca Cristalleria. Following the tradition of glass masters of Colle Val d'Elsa, in the heart of Tuscany, Vilca realizes objects in valuable crystal with the same care of old times.
A rich collection of products, from table furnishings to furnitures, precious objects that show the richness of hand made objects, remarked by the collection dedicated to the tasting as well as the more artistic one.
Fluid objects, that become ductile material mirably forged by the glass masters giving life to incredible realizations. Products with their own history, coming from examples of high artistic prestige but also from "minor" ones, making a complete creation still able to give strong emotions; a style that concurs to save autenticity of the place of origin.
The company has explored for a long time new dimensions of design and on the other hand the activity of the Memo Collection, linked to the re-edition of historical pieces, offers examples of important designs of the 1900's like those of Le Corbusier, Hoffman, Ponti and others; it's the evidence of the ability to re-invent a new conception in designs never realized before. The same attention payed to the design expressed in the realization of objects with David Palterer, Ambrogio Pozzi and Shiro Kuramata.
A real effort that has been able to give great inputs and improvement to the company, above all in stand-still times, assuming a new line of thought.
In this way the handicraft still finds a sense, a pertinence of language, a never interrupted research, making handmade work alive with the alchemic astonishment.
With this way of thinking Vilca Cristalleria realizes great and peculiar products, whose intrinsic characteristics are brought to light by the material itself: the Crystal.
