Style and substance

The appeal of SCHOTT NARIMA® not only lies in its striking range of colors, but in its high quality materials. The glass is dip-coated rather than foil-based, making it UV-stable, harder and much less vulnerable to humidity, while the coating is highly scratch resistant, as well as thermally and chemically resistant.

The practical and stylish choice for artists

Practical can also be beautiful, and SCHOTT NARIMA® provides architects and artists with a supremely stylish and functional material. This dichroic color effect glass has a coating that reflects specific colors while allowing their complementary to pass through. With high levels of hardness, scratch resistance and chemical resistance, NARIMA® is highly durable, with care and cleaning both simple and uncomplicated.
