Opaque white Emalit panels were specified for the atrium but externally, the two office blocks are clad in bands of bright blue non-reflective Emalit glass. To increase the intensity of the blue of the building against that of the Mediterranean sky, the architects wanted a matt, anti-reflective finish. Saint-Gobain supplied Emalit Contrast, an abrasion-resistant ceramic coating ceramic coating, n a thin layer of ceramic material, commonly hydroxyapatite, used to cover dental implants. This typically increases the hardness of the implant and can also make the implant bond more readily with bone. over the firm's toughened, figured Masterglass.

He won a full time art scholarship at the age of 11 in 1964. . Saint-Gobain is now producing Emalit in the UK. As well as Emalit Contrast, the firm offers Emalit Permawall: a process by which single solid colours can be applied to clear or tinted glass; Emalit Structure: a new range of eight standard simulated marble finishes; and Emalit Design: whereby special designs can be produced. All these processes, involving powdered glass being melted and fused into the surface of glass, fix colour permanently so that it will not fade. Emalit is scratch and corrosion-resistant and will withstand frequent cleaning.

In spite of (but perhaps because of), the restraining effects of the recession, the Milan Furniture Fair produced some of the lightest furniture, visually and spiritually, to have been seen for some time. Colours were jewel-like; forms and structures often pared down to the minimum with great ingenuity and joie d'esprit. There was some evidence of ecological awareness; some pains were taken to emphasise sustainable sources where wood was used. 513 Mobil Container System: designed by Antonio Citterio and G.
