Tonelli: the alchemy of glass and the elegance of transparency
Born in the 1980s from a deep passion for research and experimentation, Tonelli has established itself as an essential reference in the world of contemporary design. Which is a good reason to also establish itself in the Pacific Compagnie catalogue! Specialising in the creation of glass furniture and furnishing objects, the brand has built its identity around a unique, fascinating and timeless material.
Tonelli's philosophy is based on a constant dialogue between tradition and innovation. Heir to the great Italian glass tradition, a true artistic and cultural heritage, the brand perpetuates this savoir-faire by entrusting the transformation of the material to the expert hands of highly skilled artisans. Glass, present in human history for over 5,000 years, becomes at Tonelli a central protagonist of contemporary interior design.
Alongside this artisanal approach, Tonelli stands out through an advanced technological culture. The company continuously invests in research and development, exploring new forms of creativity and new ways of living. This dynamic of innovation is strengthened by collaborations with numerous international designers, who constantly push the expressive and functional boundaries of glass. Over time, Tonelli has enriched its creative language by integrating other noble materials — wood, metal, fabric and leather — allowing glass to be valued as both a structural and decorative element.
Today, Tonelli embodies a vision of design where glass becomes structure, function and poetry, serving elegant, light and timeless interiors.
