GLASS DESIGN ING: Edition multilingue français anglais allemand italien espagnol

Glass primarily offers design options by the various styles of treating its surface. Layering, printing, colouring, marking and etching create in isolation or in combinations a wide range of the most diverse appearances, which allow the designer a free hand in the process of applying his ideas. The optical appearance is always defines by the transmission of light, with transparency and translucency being capable of precise control. Independently of how it used, glass retains its historic advantages: it is light and frost-proof and produced in large quantities on an industrial scale. Additionally, glass is "politically correct", as a high proportion of used glass is required for glass production, the recycling potential is therefore inherent to this substance as with no other material. This book introduces notable objects from the areas of private living, public and sacred buildings.
