Glass furniture is synonymous with pure form and design – Tonelli brand

Doing a review of market offerings in the furniture industry, I noticed a certain repetitiveness of designs and shapes. I have seen few decent proposals containing glass furniture. In the age of the Internet and large international trade fairs, absolutely anyone can create their own collection of interior products. It is no longer as complicated as it was a dozen years ago. So a lot of manufactures are being created, smaller and larger, which are trying to make a name for themselves in this field in some way.

However, you too have probably noticed some patterns and repeated boring photocopies. And this is weak, because we have little originality, simplicity of form manifested in high-quality material and unconventionality. Why don’t emerging brands ask themselves the basic question, to what end am I making a new collection? Well, it’s simple, there is less and less investment in good designers and more attention to trends.

This is, of course, disastrous, because the fashion for a piece of furniture passes and we are ultimately left with a degeneration that no one wants to buy. Today, customers are looking for something extremely unique, something that will never pass away and will leave a mark in their interiors. We are thinking more and more about what we will leave for the next generation and what impact we will have on their development. That’s why utilitarian forms such as furniture can take on an interesting and, more importantly, inspiring design! All you have to do is step outside your comfort zone and do something that goes beyond duplication and modeling.

Glass furniture, or how to surprise your interiors

The Tonelli brand, as it is referred to today, captivated me at first sight. As soon as I saw some of their designs, I immediately wanted them to be on Luxury Products. I’ll tell you honestly that I’ve really seen a lot of high-end products, so it’s hard to surprise me.

But in fact here I was charmed from the spot, it was a shot in 10 that changed my perception of forms. Although we offer our customers a lot of glamour, rococo or baroque style furniture, I have always loved minimalism. Since luxury in its conception is simplicity itself, Tonelli glass furniture expresses this feeling 100%. And it is impossible to fake this fascination with beauty with anything else.

What makes the difference?

Absolutely everything! Yes, if you get to know these Tonelli products more closely – you will see in them a particle of originality, simplicity combined with high-quality material. It’s a correlation of minimalism and sophisticated design. Cold combines with warm, sharpness reigns over form, and balance is created by the shape itself with the rest of the interior. This glass furniture is my personal eureka, something that goes beyond the usual patterns of reality.

And in fact, we bring out all the beauty just by placing the furniture in the interior. This is the most beautiful thing, that it is WE who decide how the object will speak to us. Because, glass is an unfinished subject. That is, you yourself complete your story of glass furniture with the rest of the furnishings. And only the end result is seen holistically. The product itself placed in an empty room will be a transparent form, not fully fulfilled.

Designers deliberately do not heavily varnish these products, or supplement them with other materials. So that only when juxtaposed with the rest of the furnishings do they form a unity. This fascinates and attracts me to the Tonelli brand.

Glass furniture made on the basis of antique assumptions and innovative solutions

This is also an important point in the creation of great products, as the manufactory drew inspiration from the tradition of Italian antique glass. Made in Italy has always been associated with a crazy fascination with beauty and top-quality design. Glass, on the other hand, has played a big role here, from the artisans of Florence to the artistic hand-blown Murano glass. Authenticity and style is written into the code of virtually every Italian brand. That’s why they are known all over the world. I think you can understand this very well, why I rely on such genuine production.

Going back to Tonelli – their glass furniture is made using the technique of welding straight sheets of glass. They are the ones who have been working on newer and newer innovations and experimenting with this material for decades. Glass is quite a delicate raw material, so the brand’s long history allows them to implement innovations and methods only known to them! High resistance starts between 15 and 20 mm thick. So only such proven production will allow the furniture to be used for a long time.

Asian photocopies

More and more, I see the mass production of twin similar glass furniture from Asian factories. This is naturally inevitable, since design is generally available. However, when you take a closer look nothing is quite obvious. You can probably guess that mainly because of the production itself, as well as the material. I wrote about the superior quality of Italian products between in the article, Italian ceramics.

In order to produce a high-quality glass product, it takes not only knowledge, but experience that takes years to form. The difference between the Tonelli desk, which The cost starts from 7,000 zlotys, and an Asian desk for 600 zlotys does not result from anything. This is the abecademy of production, use of raw material and approach to gluing glass surfaces.

Do you think it is possible to produce high-quality glass furniture for such a low price. And on top of that you have to add the cost of transportation, customs and margin for resellers. So please, don’t fall for it. The easiest thing to do is to check the name of the brand that the seller offers. Most often it will be No Name, because no one will sign for such a weak product.

Look at the weight of such a piece of furniture and compare it with a real, heavy glass Italian product. In most cases, the weight is half as much. In addition, the thickness is important, that is, as I mentioned from 15 mm upwards!

These are the fundamental differences that are formed between prestigious glass furniture and cheap fakes. But not for everyone understood, which is a pity, because knowledge in arranging luxury interiors is fundamental.

Glass furniture reflects designers’ vision

Passionate and original glass furniture will not be created without good ideas, drawn by a skilled designer. And duplicating their designs is an idea typical of companies that engage in boorish counterfeiting. A design, by the way, is to some extent the proprietary knowledge of the creator. So duplicating it is, for me, quite weak! Well, this is mainly due to the lack of their own visions and a quick desire for profit.

Tonelli Design Brand She put with the help of exceptional designers who feel passion in what they do! I think by sheer culture they should be mentioned, because it is a nod to the truly beautiful forms they have created!

Glass furniture designs were made by Silvana Angeletti, Daniele Ruzza, Francesca Arrighi, Uto Balmoral, Francesco Barberini, Nina Alexandra Gunnell, Bartoli Design brand, Calvi Brambilla brand, Maurizio Castelvetro, Cristina Celestino, Debonademeo Studio brand, Lorenzo De Bartolomei s, D’Urbino & Lomazzi brand, Francesco Forcellini, Studio Isao Hosoe brand, Paolo Lomazzi, Leonardi & Marinelli brand, Giulio Mancini, Mario Milana, Emilio Nanni, Moe Design Lab brand, Paolo Grasselli, Luca Papini, Matteo Ragni, Karim Rashid, Giuseppe Maurizio Scutellà, Luigi Serafini, Andrea Tempestini, Viola Tonucci, and Luigi Trenti.

Take your brand seriously

The sheer team behind the bold designs shows that the brand is serious about who is behind their design. This is important, because only significant companies, treat their future this way. Here there is no question of production, something that will not ultimately pass through the hands of an outstanding designer. That’s why Tonelli glass furniture has such a wide variety of forms and purposes. It might seem that they are all similar, but nothing could be further from the truth.

Each one is carefully thought out to be different from its predecessor. It’s meant to surprise you, make you pensive, dreamy and treat the piece of furniture with the feeling that a good craftsman and designer created it. It’s a nod to the creators and a strategy for an unconventional interior!

Glass furniture and its purpose

Most of them are minimalist and simple in their form, so they will not fit everywhere. Glass is a fairly versatile material, but correlation with certain styles may not go well. Certainly, glass furniture by Tonelli will work well in classic and quite minimalist spaces. Where there is a lot of space and simple shapes. Although, on the other hand, combining with richly carved furniture, can be an interesting solution.

It is most convenient to make a good quality visualization, which will allow you to see how the product can actually look in your room. Then we can freely experiment with furniture and accessories that will complement the whole. Anyway, in the case of glass, the important thing is the remaining decoration, i.e. fresh, strong colors that will distinguish your glass furniture.

Full company offer

Tonelli has a wide product range, so there is something for everyone. A large part of the collection is occupied by tables for the living room, which go well with many articles. Here we can find quite a lot of dimensions, allowing us to perfectly match the glass table to the living room. In addition to tables, the company offers original work desks, made of glass, of course.

Moving further into the living room, we can choose from interesting coffee tables. Inspirational, simple and overly clear in their form GIVE.

This is a proven solution when you have little space, optically enlarging your interior. Naturally, we have different designs and dimensions, so both women and men will choose the right model. Noteworthy are desks combined with varnished wood, they make a fundamental difference!

The manufacturer also designs quite a lot of artful shelves, cabinets and dressers. A lot of them have wheels, so that you can use your glass furniture more comfortably. I like the approach to ergonomics in this matter, so that you can better control the product. If you need to, you can simply move it for yourself, despite the weight of the furniture. So these are very thoughtful steps, allowing you to enjoy their simplicity.

Tonelli Design mirrors have a special place in my heart because their size, shape and simplicity is a true luxury. I am constantly looking for inspiration and this is where I found it. Despite the heavy material and content, the brand has created original pieces of functional art. Praise for them, in fact, for the entire collection.

This is the effort of really many people who have put part of their lives into it. There is no coincidence, triviality or shadow of doubt here. Despite the fact that the offer is not particularly huge, we can complete everything we need for daily functioning, in our private spaces. Especially when it comes to furniture made in Italy, because that’s what we love!

For whom?

Tonelli brand glass furniture is for people who love uniqueness, originality of form and the need to spend life in an original space. This is a group characterized by truthfulness, minimalism and approach to life. The most important thing is that they want to live it by developing themselves by looking at inspiring phenomena, and surround themselves with the kind of objects that characterize them.

Glass is pure in its origin, reference and touch, so it is an extremely interesting material. Causing other furniture and accessories to be only an addition, image and background. Despite the fact that they are dominant in the whole room their task is harmony. And so I perceive, customers who already have Tonelli in their home or apartment.

These are conscious consumers, wanting more than just bouncing their lives on a timeline. Here originality, self-confidence and an attraction to unique things must play a primary role. Which will cause the interior to take on the characteristics of the host. Which is what I wish for you!
