Studio 971 brings Glas Italia’s visionary glass designs to the UAE
At Studio 971, design is more than a functional exercise – it’s an emotive experience shaped by craftsmanship, creativity and innovation. This philosophy is perfectly embodied in the studio’s exclusive partnership with Glas Italia, a brand that has redefined the role of glass in contemporary interiors and architectural spaces.
Originating in Brianza, Italy, a region synonymous with excellence in furniture design, Glas Italia transforms one of the world’s most fragile materials into bold, expressive works of art. Every piece – whether a glass door system, a partition, a piece of furniture or a sculptural statement – is a triumph of precision and technological mastery. The brand’s collaborations with global design icons such as Piero Lissoni, Patricia Urquiola and Nendo have pushed glass beyond its traditional uses.
What makes Glas Italia truly exceptional is its treatment of glass not just as a surface or structure, but as a living material. By manipulating transparency, reflectivity, thickness and tone, the brand crafts designs that are at once minimalist and theatrical, each piece bringing a sense of lightness and clarity yet carrying the gravitas of high design.
Studio 971 brings this visionary spirit to the UAE, offering direct access to Glas Italia’s full collection. From design consultation to installation, the Studio 971 team works closely with clients to integrate each piece seamlessly into their spaces. Whether one is designing a bold entrance, a minimalist living space or an avant-garde office, Glas Italia offers unmatched elegance and a distinct design language that turns interiors into curated experiences. Through its partnership with Glas Italia, Studio 971 invites architects, interior designers and homeowners alike to discover the poetic potential of glass.
