Luigi Bormioli: New Glass With High Transparency, Sonority And Resistance

Faced with the demand for glass with particular characteristics to suit today's hectic lifestyle, Luigi Bormioli's research team has come up with a new type of glass that responds to these needs. After 18 months of research, SON.hyx is now ready for the market. This new material is obtained through advanced technological processes, and is a high performance crystal glass with a sonority index typical of that of precious glass. SON.hyx may be defined as a totally high permeable material as it is absolutely transparent and totally colourless. It thus possesses a lightness verging almost on the immaterial. The glass reaches an "R" colour efficiency of the liquid contained in the stemglass equivalent to 99.99%. According to the manufacturer, light absorption is practically zero.
