Born in the Dolomites
In the heart of the Dolomites, in Belluno, Glass Made was born — a studio surrounded by unspoiled nature, among mountains that have always symbolised beauty and perfection. Here, glass plates with a modern, contemporary design are crafted by hand to enhance the culinary experience of gourmet and fine dining restaurants. Every piece is the result of careful, purely manual craftsmanship, carried out with precision and care. No two plates are ever the same: each has its own shades, imperfections and details that make it one of a kind. The studio's philosophy is simple — beauty lies in uniqueness and attention to detail, and every creation is an authentic expression of art and design.
The People Behind the Glass
Glass Made is the work of two artisans. *Maya, originally from São Paulo, Brazil, dedicated much of her professional life to the artistic processing of glass before her passion for art and design brought her to Italy. **Denis*, born in Belluno, has more than twenty years of experience in the glass industry, in both the industrial and artistic sectors. Together they turn deep knowledge of glassworking into pieces that combine functionality and beauty, innovation and tradition.
Inspired by Nature
Inspiration comes from the Dolomites themselves — lakes, ice, snow and stone — and from the chefs the studio works with, whose ideas spark new shapes and techniques. Production respects the environment and local traditions, carrying forward a craft deeply connected to the place where it is made. The style is defined by clean lines, essential forms and a minimalist aesthetic. The transparency and brilliance of glass highlight every dish, striking a balance between function and beauty that suits the modern atmosphere of gourmet restaurants.
Tailor Made
Glass Made creates completely custom-made plates, carefully following each chef's request — specific shapes, colours or exclusive designs, including plates with a restaurant's name fused into the glass. Each one is more than a plate: it is an expression of style, creativity and personality, made to turn every service into an unforgettable experience.
