Glass designs (Work in progress)

I decided to research some of the glass designs we were shown in a recent lecture in more detail.

I find the company B. lab Italia very interesting. B. lab is a multidisciplinery design lab which researches, develops and manufactures alternative architectural materials. The company is driven by the desire to break the ordinary static aspect of our furnished environments.

I feel that the image below sums up what B. lab is all about. A table, a normal piece of furniture found within a home but with a unique design twist. The effect of shattering glass was very simple to create, as I discovered and looks extremely effective. This technique of frozen explosion of glass is created by a sheet of tempered glass sealed between two panels. When it is shattered, numerous fragments are produced. Transparant panels can be used for windows, light covering with reflecting metal supports and tops furnishings. The impact is produced in various sizes, thickness and colour.



Fusion Glass designs are very innovative.
