Artelinea was founded in 1956 as a glassworks specializing in mirrors and glass for furniture. In the 1960s, with its first factory in Figline Valdarno (FI), it began its great evolution in producing mirrors, accessories, lighting, and bathroom furniture. In 1989 it was the first company in the world to use thick slabs for bathroom tops as an alternative to marble, with under-top, over-top and thermofused sinks, becoming an international leader. With the collaboration of the most famous designers Artelinea offers the market bathroom furniture of the highest level both in design and in materials and quality. Human capital, a sense of belonging and entrepreneurial courage have always distinguished the growth of the company, which from places considered the heart of the Renaissance and universally recognized as the cradle of art, architecture, fashion and beauty, can now boast an international dimension. Thanks to the contribution of sons Massimo and Marco, and collaborations with designers and universities, Artelinea offers the highest quality and largely custom-made products, distributed through stores and showrooms throughout Western Europe and the United States.
Artelinea's bathroom furniture
Even before designing a product, The company focuses on the study of materials: this is the key to understanding their collaborations with the Chemistry Department of the University of Florence, the School of Glass in Murano, Venice, and numerous researchers, as well as their continuous investments in technology. They make use of machinery and furnaces that allow for the best workmanship: with stubbornness and through insights and experience, they work to achieve consistently spectacular baths and sinks. The high standard of quality is everything for Artelinea, as is the exclusivity inherent in the custom fabrication of mirrors, sinks, countertops, furniture and accessories. Every stage of workmanship takes place in-house, under the close control of staff members: cutting, bending, grinding, casting, painting, and laser machining on the latest cutting table. Even the furniture is entirely produced by the skilled craftsmen in the carpentry shop, which is directly connected to the lighting department where mirrors are mounted and wiring is done. Glass is by definition recyclable and environmentally friendly. For its processing to be equally so, Artelinea has fully embraced the zero-impact manufacturing economy model. In fact, all plants include full recirculation of processing water and use of water collected in rain tanks. In the plant of more than twelve thousand square meters, they have installed a photovoltaic panel system capable of producing 80 percent of the energy needs and reducing the impact that processing has on the environment, according to a precise ecological will. Responding to the same spirit is the packaging policy: in the company's in-house box factory, they custom-package each product ready for delivery with 100% recycled cardboard.
