Examples of applications where Glassfer technology has been used.

Architecture

Piramide Louvre

Parigi, 1988

One of the most characterizing and historically important projects in which Glassfer technologies have been used to achieve a result with perfect geometries.

A result that has allowed Glassfer to build an international reputation.
