Fiam - Charlotte console

Console in 15 mm curved transparent glass, designed by Prospero Rasulo.

Prospero Rasulo

Rasulo was born in Stigliano di Matera in 1953. After attending the Brera Academy of Fine Arts in Milan, he began his production as an artist and designer in 1980 with the realization of projects ranging from the scenographic to public and private spaces, from pictorial expressions to plastic ones. His research on the sensory components of surfaces has led him to creatively experiment with different material combinations.

In 1987 he founded the studio Oxido, gallery of design, art, design, architecture, which also became the brand of furniture collections and objects of furniture. As an industrial designer he collaborates with various companies, including Arflex, Foscarini, B.R.F., WMF, Zanotta, Poltronova, Antonio Lupi, FIAM, Mandelli, Gessi, Glas, Rosenthal, Fabbian and Valdama.

Fiam

Vittorio Livi has always had a passion: glass.
The first company he founded, Fullet, produced colored glass for the furniture industry. This was followed by Artiglass, Curvovetro, Cromoglass and Vellutart.
From the merger of some of these companies, FIAM, the first company to make curved glass furniture elements, was born in 1973. Thanks to its technology and collaborations with well-known international designers, FIAM became a leader in its field and some of its products are exhibited in 25 international museums.
After being involved in the renovation of Montegridolfo, a walled village dating back to the 7th century B.C., in 1992 Vittorio Livi acquires and rehabilitates Villa Miralfiore, a historic building in Pesaro dating back to 1260.
Part of the villa is dedicated to Spazio Miralfiore, a museum of glass works produced by Livi and numerous national and international artists.
