The Company
Pioneering the modern
minimalist window
Invented in Switzerland in 1992 by watchmaking engineer Eric Joray, Vitrocsa redefined architecture by making window frames invisible.
The Story
Vitrocsa has developed an infinite range of custom window systems to meet even the most outlandish of architects' specifications: sliding doors and windows with invisible frames, huge detachable frameless windows, and entire façades which disappear into the air or are hidden in partitions.
The guiding principle? To creatively blend indoors and outdoors. The famous Genevan architect, Andrea Bassi, was the first person to install a Vitrocsa system in a villa. This provided the impetus, and the rest was word-of-mouth. Seduced by the flawlessness and versatility of the products, world-renowned architects lined up to work with Vitrocsa.
The resulting collaborations produced works of breathtaking beauty — from the boxes at the Municipal Stadium of Braga to the top floor of the Maison Dior in Seoul, the premium villas of the Shebara Resort in the Red Sea, and homes designed by Lenny Kravitz and Michael Bay in California.
Vitrocsa now exports its systems to more than 60 countries across five continents. Its products remain best-sellers around the world.
