IKO studio is a stained glass studio in Italy which began life in Rome, before moving to the lushious green Umbrian countryside, near Orvieto.

The studio was founded by stained glass artist, Diego Tolomelli who having achieved over 10 years of experience working with some of the most prestigious stained glass studios in England, returned to Italy. After a year of working in an important studio in Rome he decided to set up his own studio in order to offer quality stained glass in Italy, Europe and America.

IKO studio produces stained glass of the highest quality, using the finest glass available on the market. Diego’s produces some of the most spectacular painted stained glass available in Italy. Each original design begins life as drawing, meeting the specifications of his private clients, interior designers and architects.

Diego is a highly skilled artist and his attention to detail is outstanding. The stained glass he produces in Italy and ships all over the world, look as wonderful close up as they do from a distance. He produces stained glass panels, stained glass windows and stained glass lights and lamps in either traditional leaded stained glass or using the Tiffany stained glass technique. He specialises in traditional, contemporary, abstract, geometric, religious or secular designs.

Painted stained glass is IKO studio’s strength. Each layer of the image is built up using stained glass paint, enamels and stains, which are then kiln fired. The painting lasts a life time, as it uses the same techniques found in medieval cathedrals and churches all over Europe. His stained glass works of art can be found in churches, houses and public buildings in England, Italy, Africa and America.

Diego also teaches and trains others in the use of these techniques, offering stained glass courses throughout the year with a commitment to passing on these skills and his passion for stained glass for generations to come.

We look forward to discussing your requirements and creating a stained glass project for you that will make an impact.
