Arnolfo di Cambio, a company specialised in the production of objects made of crystal with more than 24% PbO, was founded in Colle Val d’Elsa in 1963.
Its success is due to the entrepreneurial spirit of its partners who, for three generations, have always sought new technologies and created the highly innovative projects that have allowed it to distinguish itself by its unique design.

Over the last 45 years, Arnolfo di Cambio has assimilated the heritage of master glassblowers and combined it with technological innovation, investing right from the start in the collaboration of famous designers who have given it its unmistakable style. Leading designers such as Ettore Sottsass, Enzo Mari, Marco Zanuso, Sergio Asti, Cini Boeri, Toshiyuki Kita, Roger Tallon, Oscar Tusquets Blanca, Konstantin Grcic, Alfredo Haberli, Michele De Lucchi have re-interpreted the classics of the collections, improving their functionality and valorising their aesthetics.
Significant examples include the Smoke glass of Joe Colombo and Mapan by Sergio Asti, both on display in the permanent collection at the MoMa in New York, and Cibi which became familiar to a wider public because of its use in Ridley Scott movie “Blade Runner”.
The company’s trademark has become highly visible internationally as a result of exhibitions, publications and prizes that have contributed to increasing the appreciation of the public, institutions and designers, who acknowledge Arnolfo di Cambio as one of the leading Italian crystal manufacturers. Style, tradition and innovation, elegance, and the unique nature of each piece reflect the philosophy of Arnolfo di Cambio which, without losing anything of its own identity, has proved itself capable of prodicing collections that enhance the original culture of the designers with whom it collaborates.

The purchase of an object produced by Arnolfo di Cambio can be seen in many ways: the awareness of having bought a product that maximises the innate characteristics of crystal, and the guarantee of a product hand made in Italy whose engravings, lights and refractions are enhanced by the fact of being worked using traditional techniques.

The three collections Clearline, Il Cristallo and ADC have different characteristics:

Clearline is the cosmopolitan series of the di Cambio home, created with the contribution of Italian and foreign designers under the artistic direction of François Burkhardt. It is a collection that brings together ever-new designs as a result of the constant pursuit of the most innovative research.

Il Cristallo is a collection designed for the lovers of tradition, and privileges historical shapes, sparkling cuts, classical engravings, and decorations in gold and platinum.

ADC has been designed for everyday use, a perfect combination of precious materials and an optimum quality/price ratio. Its versatility makes each piece of the collection suitable for more informal occasions, without sacrificing anything in terms of elegant design.

Il Cristallo
“Crystal” forms the most classic nucleus of Arnolfo di Cambio collections. However, “classic” here does not mean shapes with predefined connotations and a universally recognised style, but covers a group of objects based on the principal characteristic of working crystal: manual dxterity. The “gather” is raised from the incandescent furnace by hand, as is the shaping of the molten glass “ball”, the “blowing” of the piece, and the entire finishing cycle of buffing, cutting and the selection of the product by means of matching heights and thicknesses.
