Whether functional or fashionable, coloured or clear, glass plays a major role in our lives. Aside from protecting us from the elements while giving us a view of the outdoors and letting in light, glass has become a high-tech component of many buildings, for example by offering UV protection. Architects also integrate glass into the design of their buildings as a decorative element. Sunglass srl, based in Villafranca Padovana, Italy, has made glass its core business and has risen to the clear choice of celebrity architects all over the world.
