AGC Asahi Glass to Exhibit for Second Time at Milan Design Week
OREANDA-NEWS. AGC Asahi Glass (AGC), a world-leading manufacturer of glass, chemicals and high-tech materials, announced today that AGC will participate in Milan Design Week 2016, one of the world’s largest design festivals held in Italy in April this year. Marking its second appearance at Milan Design Week this year, AGC will use Dragontrail™ and other types of thin, chemically strengthened glass for its unique installation to showcase a “light, flexible and expressive” glass world that will dramatically change the conventional image of glass.
Using Amorphous, indicating the molecular structure of glass, as the key concept, AGC’s glass installation will be created in partnership with NOSIGNER, a design firm that has a multi-disciplinary approach to design strategy, including graphic, product and space design.
AGC’s Dragontrail™ and other thin, chemically strengthened glass have been used mainly for the cover glass of smartphones, tablet PCs and other electric devices. The chemical strengthening treatment applied during the production process makes the glass more resistant to scratching and breakage than ordinary glass. Taking advantage of this feature, AGC is developing a wide range of applications for this type of glass. Using such thin and strong glass at Milan Design Week, AGC’s “light, flexible and expressive” glass installation titled Amorphous will definitely change the conventional image of glass.
AGC is a world leader in architectural glass, automotive glass and display glass. At Milan Design Week, AGC’s glass installation using Dragontrail™ will stimulate the imagination and inspiration of designers in the fields of architecture, interior design, product design and spatial presentation.
About the AGC Group
AGC Asahi Glass (or also called AGC, Registered Company name: Asahi Glass Co., Ltd., Headquarters: Tokyo, President & CEO: Takuya Shimamura) is the parent company of the AGC Group, a world-leading glass solution provider and supplier of flat, automotive and display glass, chemicals, ceramics and other high-tech materials and components.

AGC’s Thin, Chemically Strengthened Glass
AGC’s thin, chemically strengthened glass has a superior surface strength, and is lighter, more flexible and scratch resistant compared to conventional glass used as ordinary windowpane glass. During the production process, this thin glass is chemically strengthened to make it more damage resistant, while remaining its flatness, smoothness and clarity. AGC’s thin, chemically strengthened glass product lineups include Dragontrail™, which is used mainly for the cover glass of smartphones, tablet PCs and other electric devices; Dragontrail™ X, which features increased strength, and glass products for general industrial applications.
