ilio

Projects

New project

ilio is the Troyan sun god Helios, the sparkle of the Mediterranean’s crystal waters. And much like the sun’s life-giving power that inspired the name, ilio is inspired by the creative fire that breathes life into sand and ash and stone. Experienced hands, working fast and with great precision, turn a liquid, fiery mass into cool, translucent glass. Glass, that is immaculate and, like the gods, immune to the passage of time.

ilio is created by a small team of designers from Istanbul, combining cutting-edge contemporary design with the ancient traditions of hand-worked glass to create objects of timeless beauty that lend stylish elegance and sensuous luxury to tables both east and west. And within each piece lies a unique story, waiting to be told and retold.
