The Technique

Vitrum Arte uses the same wood inlay technique that, over centuries, has produced authentic masterpieces and very fine and admirable handcrafted objects. We at Valcucine revisited the wood inlay technique using modern materials such as glass and coloured film instead. Just like in the past, we too use the traditional technique that is performed entirely by hand and makes each piece unique.

So that they can be inlaid on glass panels, the original designs are vectorised to obtain plain, even-coloured backgrounds without any differences in shade or transparencies. The designs are cut out from special coloured film and then applied to the tempered glass panels by hand. Any small imperfections in matching the films are proof of the precious manual process employed and of the value of tailor-made production.
