Unachievable dimensions

It's all about the view. swissFineLine offers element sizes up to 20 m². In this system, the glass acts as a self-supporting structural element, which makes it possible to completely omit any framing.

Through constant further development, swissFineLine is and remains the trend-setting premium window in the highest quality standard and inspires architects and builders alike.

It was 1985 when the company started with the first numerically controlled punching and bending machines, and today, in its various factories and laboratories in northern Italy, 50 high precision machines redefine the very idea of perfection: from laser cutting in fibre optics to CNC machines for cutting and shaping glass and wood, from special equipment for glass lamination with EVA technology to 5-axis three-dimensional milling.

"In the last 10 years, the global recession changed the rules forever. We have noticed in all markets an increasingly massive use of production outsourcing to contain costs," explains Rillosi.

In Extravega, we work in a diametrically opposite way, gradually incorporating all the processes and know-how. A choice that has led us to master materials and processes, acting as total contractors in the most diverse projects - from one-off works of art to the creation of museums, to the furnishings of exclusive residences. In total we have about 120 collaborators divided into areas of expertise.”
