Frequently Asked Questions

Who is Johanna Grawunder?

Johanna Grawunder is an American architect and designer based between San Francisco and Milan. She spent over a decade as a partner at Sottsass Associati before establishing her own practice, working at the intersection of architecture, light, and furniture with a consistent focus on color as a spatial and structural element.

What type of glass is used in the XX Console Table?

The bases and top are constructed from tempered and laminated glass, approximately 3/10 inch thick. Tempering provides structural resilience, while lamination bonds the layers to maintain integrity and optical clarity.

What does the chamfering process involve?

Chamfering is a precision grinding and polishing technique applied to glass edges, removing sharp corners and producing a smooth, angled profile. On the XX Console, it refines each joint and contributes to the overall refinement of the assembled form.

Is the XX Console Table available in other colors?

The piece is made to order, and Glas Italia's production capabilities allow for consultation on colorways. Contacting an authorized representative is the appropriate step to discuss available configurations.

How does colored glass behave in different lighting conditions?

Transparent colored glass shifts in character depending on the quality and direction of light. In strong natural light it projects color onto surrounding surfaces; in diffused or artificial light it reads as a denser, more saturated tone. This variability is a defining quality of Grawunder's use of glass.
