He said:

The company is also developing new collections and unique pieces involving Saudi designers and artists.

“We are doing at the moment new collections or new pieces or unique pieces made with or by Saudi designers or artists trying to blend the Italian craftsmanship with the Saudi culture.”

This approach allows OOM Glass to create designs that reflect both Italian manufacturing traditions and Saudi cultural influences.

Rather than bringing identical products into different markets, the company is focusing on creating pieces connected to local identity and hospitality environments.

Technology and Human Craftsmanship Drive OOM Glass’ Bespoke Design Approach

For OOM Glass, technology and craftsmanship work together rather than replacing one another.

Minetto explained that technology plays an important role in the company’s production process, but human involvement remains central.

He said:

“The real value that we bring with our company with OOM Glass is the fact that we use a lot of technology what we do.”

However, he highlighted that the human element creates the true value behind the products.

He added:

“But at the same time everything is made by someone and not something.”

According to Minetto, the people involved in creating the products represent a key part of the company’s identity.

He explained:

“People behind the technology and people behind the products that we do is the most important value that we give to customer.”

This philosophy reflects OOM Glass’ belief that luxury interiors require a balance between innovation, technical expertise and skilled craftsmanship.

Bespoke Glass Solutions Create Distinctive Luxury Hospitality Experiences

OOM Glass focuses on creating unique interior solutions designed to help luxury spaces develop memorable visual identities.

Minetto explained that the company’s value comes from combining product quality, technology and the passion behind its work.

He said:

“The passion we put in explaining the product and the quality of the product that we propose… it’s something that is actually different, really different.”

The company’s glass solutions demonstrate how materials can be transformed through design and manufacturing techniques.

During the interview, Minetto highlighted one example where a glass piece appeared similar to metal.

He clarified:

“No, it’s actually glass. It’s 100% glass.”

This demonstrates OOM Glass’ focus on innovation within glass manufacturing and its ability to create materials that challenge traditional expectations.

For luxury hotels and hospitality projects, such bespoke solutions can contribute to creating unique environments that leave a lasting impression on guests.

Saudi Arabia Creates New Opportunities for Luxury Hospitality Design

OOM Glass sees opportunities to create new collections and products through collaboration with local designers and artists.
