Founded in 1912, Fratelli Guzzini introduced Plexiglas to the domestic landscape in 1938, at a time when household objects were still strongly tied to the more traditional materials of wood, glass and iron. Continuous innovation in the following decades led to the development of the Guzzini style. With an exciting approach to color and materials, Guzzini plays a large part in what the world recognizes as the Italian look. Guzzini is still a family-run business, and is one of the leading designers and manufacturers of kitchenware. The best names in international design choose to work with Guzzini due to the company's ability to combine quality and beauty. Guzinni has received the prestigious Compasso d'Oro award in recognition of the company's commitment to design.
