A glass stool by Vittorio Livi for FIAM ITALIA. Initially imagined while he was working in a glass factory in his late teens, the Onda Pouf (wave in Italian) was the design that led Vittorio Livi to launch FIAM ITALIA. The world’s first piece of furniture made from a single sheet of curved, tempered glass, its sinuous waterfall form is a marriage of technical innovation and Italian elegance. Original wooden glides intact.


VITTORIO LIVI (b. 1944) was born in Tavullia, a small inland town in the Marche region of Italy. He grew up the youngest of seven children in a farming family. They moved to the municipality of Pesaro on the Adriatic coast in 1951. After graduating from high school, Livi became an apprentice in a local glassworks at the age of fourteen. He was later employed there as a craftsman specializing in the production of stained glass.

When he was eighteen, Livi launched his own business to produce decorated glass for furniture. The company, Fullet, was the first in a series of enterprises he founded that specialized in particular aspects of glassmaking: Artiglass (1963) created artistic stained glass windows; Cromoglass (1965) manufactured reflective glass, the first European facility to do so; Vellutart (1969) made glass accessories for the furniture sector; and Curvovetro (1970) was focused on the unique technology and expertise needed to bend glass.

In his late 20s, in 1973, Livi leveraged all the technical knowledge he had amassed, while also fostering brand recognition and product innovation, by consolidating his five businesses to form FIAM ITALIA. The firm quickly emerged as the preeminent player in the design and manufacturing of curved glass furniture. Livi’s vision was to use FIAM ITALIA to achieve nothing less than a transformation of the public’s perception of glass—from a fragile, cold, and transparent material into a prestigious and versatile design element.

The company was a magnet for international designers and architects wanting to test the design limits of glass. Collaborations with such renowned artists as Enzo Mari (1932–2020), Philippe Starck (b. 1949), and Cini Boeri (1924–2020) demonstrated the firm’s technical mastery.

In 1988, Livi co-founded a limited liability company to restore the ancient walled village of Montegridolfo, located about 20 km southeast of Rimini. In 1992, he purchased and restored Villa Miralfiore, a historic Renaissance-style residence in Pesaro, incorporating a unique museum dedicated to the exhibition of glass works created by renowned contemporary artists. “The Glass Museum” houses the world’s largest private collection of glass objects.

Livi’s famous creations are displayed in more than twenty-five museums around the globe. He remains a significant figure at global design exhibitions and has received multiple awards that acknowledge his creativity and enduring impact on Italian design.


I immediately understood the allure and potential of glass, this material that represents our soul. – VITTORIO LIVI


FIAM ITALIA is headquartered in Tavullia, a small inland municipality in the Marche region of Italy, approximately 10 km from the Adriatic Sea coast, the birthplace of founder Vittorio Livi. FIAM is an acronym for Fabbrica Italiana Arredamenti Moderni (Italian Factory of Modern Furniture).

Founded in 1973, FIAM was established to revolutionize the use of curved glass in furniture design. Their signature piece, the Onda Pouf, a stool made from a single sheet of curved glass, became a symbol of the company’s innovation and, indeed, a symbol of “Made in Italy” design.

FIAM ITALIA is world-renowned for its expertise in shaping and bending glass, to wit, the ‘Ghost’ chair, created in partnership with designer Cini Boeri (1924–2020) in 1987. Crafted from a 12-mm-thick sheet of glass, this iconic armchair is folded in the style of origami. The firm’s collaborations soon expanded to include other distinguished designers and architects–including Marcel Wanders (b. 1963), Arik Levy (b. 1963), and Massimiliano Fuksas (b. 1944)–further cementing its reputation. The artists always worked closely with the company’s skilled glass masters to bring their ideas to life, using the most advanced industrial processes.

More recent collections have begun to explore further the boundaries of glass, striving for earthier, warmer, and multi-color forms that will pave the way for a new era of innovation. FIAM ITALIA’s designs have been celebrated globally, with products displayed in museums in New York and Rome.

Baby bumps and bodyguards
Format: Kindle
Dark, emotional, and unexpectedly tender, Not Ready is an omegaverse romance that delivers found family feels, fierce protectiveness, and a very pregnant heroine who refuses to break. Vale’s on the run from a stalker, but lands in the arms of three private security alphas, cue the swoony tension, fake marriage twist, and slow-burn heat. It’s a little gritty, a little soft, and a whole lot addictive. If you love protective alphas, high stakes, and heroines with quiet strength, this one’s a must-read.

Strong Omegaverse Comfort and a Attention Grabbing Plot
Format: Kindle
Jillian West never misses when it comes to Omegaverse, and Not Ready is no exception. This story was the perfect blend of cozy comfort and emotional depth while still delivering a strong plot. Vale is such a powerful heroine, she is strong, capable, and determined but I love that she still allows her pack to love and take care of her. It’s that balance of independence and vulnerability that makes her so relatable. The relationship dynamics were amazing: Bishop is steadfast and completely head over heels, Mercy is skeptical but protective in his own way, and Holt is the hesitant one whose slow fall is so satisfying to watch unfold. The romance hits that sweet spot between insta-love and cautious build, keeping me hooked the entire way through. And that ending. Oh my god, the cliffhanger! I need the next book in this duet immediately.

Interesting
Format: Kindle
So I will say I enjoyed the story, for sure had its moments where it dragged but it was a great story. I really liked that omegas picked their alphas/make the pack. Normally the Alphas make it and the omega fits in with them which is great but I enjoyed this new version where all the power basically went to the omega. It was a nice change of pace. I can admit some of the weird bedroom stuff with her being pregnant was odd, it’s really not hard to do stuff when pregnant (I know I’ve had two and it’s normal and even encouraged at the end especially if you want the baby out). But I like the story as a whole and will read the second, I do hope the next one isn’t dragged bc it stopped being action or tense after she met her alphas and I don’t think it was brought up or properly done when they tried to do it. More sweet after she left.

I’m a little disappointed.
Format: Kindle
I usually like Jillian West’s books but this one was missing a lot for me. The pregnancy didn’t come across as real. She’s on her feet for 12 hour days but is perfectly healthy at 8 months pregnant? Yet the week she moves in all of a sudden she’s not? She is planning on actually running during one of the plot buildups. But at 8 months pregnant that’s incredibly hard to do. The lack of breathing ability and lung space, the change in body center, mass, and gravity. All of it prohibits running, unless you’re an athlete this didn’t come off as at all realistic. I didn’t feel any connection with the alphas. There wasn’t any emotional connection. It could be because of the tense it was written in. But I didn’t get any deep feelings out of this. It came across as checking off boxes. Even the spicy scenes weren’t really believable for me. I wanted to see them fall for her, and it just kind of all fizzled. Even Bishop. One thing I did really like was the ending. I did not see it coming and I’m interested in reading book two because of it. But on the whole this book was mostly disappointing for me.
