Crepa
Made by Glas Italia
Designed by Johanna Grawunder
Il tavolo Crack di Johanna Grawunder per Glas Italia inizia con una provocazione: e se il vetro sembrasse andare in frantumi, eppure rimanesse perfettamente immobile? La superficie è incisa con la geometria della frattura, linee che si irradiano verso l'esterno come se fossero congelate al momento dell'impatto. Il risultato è un pezzo che vive in deliberata contraddizione, fragile nell'aspetto, preciso nella realizzazione.
La Grawunder, designer e light artist californiana da tempo residente a Milano, porta nel suo lavoro la sensibilità di uno scultore. La sua pratica si muove fluidamente tra architettura, object design e installazione, e questa versatilità è visibile qui. Il tavolo Crack appare diverso a seconda della luce, la sua superficie incisa passa da traslucida a opaca, catturando e diffondendo allo stesso tempo.

Domande Frequenti
What is the Crack table made of?
The Crack table is constructed from etched glass by Glas Italia, whose manufacturing process allows for precise surface patterning that mimics the radiating geometry of a fracture. The glass is available in several finishes that affect how the piece interacts with light.
Who designed the Crack table for Glas Italia?
The Crack table was designed by Johanna Grawunder, an American-born designer and artist based in Milan. She is known for her work at the intersection of light, architecture, and object design, and has collaborated with leading Italian manufacturers throughout her career.
Is the Crack table suitable as a primary coffee table or an accent piece?
The Crack table functions well in both roles. Its sculptural presence gives it weight as a standalone object, while its low profile and glass construction allow it to sit lightly within a larger composition. Many designers use it as a counterpoint to upholstered or solid-material furniture.
How does Glas Italia achieve the etched fracture pattern on the glass?
Glas Italia uses controlled acid-etching and sandblasting techniques to achieve the precise surface markings that define the Crack series. The brand's facility in Brianza, Italy is recognized for its mastery of glass processing at a scale and quality rarely found outside of industrial art contexts.
How should etched glass furniture be maintained?
Etched glass surfaces should be cleaned with a soft, lint-free cloth and a pH-neutral cleaner. Abrasive products can alter the texture of the etching over time. Avoiding direct prolonged sunlight and placing felt pads under any objects resting on the surface will help preserve the finish.
