Luigi Bormioli Top Class: glasses in SON.hyx® glass for professional foodservice

The Top Class collection by Luigi Bormioli is a line of professional glassware in superior sonorous glass without lead SON.hyx®, a patented technology by Luigi Bormioli in Parma since 1946. It offers brilliance comparable to lead crystal, superior resistance to impact and torsion, and full compatibility with professional dishwasher washing — three key requirements for the HoReCa sector and fine dining establishments.

SON.hyx® Technology: superior sonorous glass without lead

The SON.hyx® glass is the result of a patented manufacturing process developed by Luigi Bormioli.
