Brief

This new line of “architectural” bricks marries the ancient wisdom of Resano’s master glassmakers to an essential, contemporary design, ideal for exterior counterwalls and interior partitions with unlimited compositional potential. Light and glass had never been forced together so elegantly.

Solution

Valerio Cometti and Paolo Balzanelli design Monoforo, a mass-cast glass brick that offers striking plays of light and easy prehension precisely because of its central hole. Every single piece is made strictly by hand.
