Break the traditional home design! The original glass can also be played like this!



When we choose furniture, we often use durable materials, such as wood, marble, metal, etc., while glass is not considered. It is fragile and fragile in our impression. Although beautiful, it is often only used for decoration in life. Few people directly use glass to make furniture， glass cookware   .

However, there are still many cutting-edge designers willing to spend more time on glass, and use its transparent texture to enlarge the interior space and enhance the tone of the room. These bold attempts have produced many amazing glass furniture. Let's have a look!




Get rid of stereotypes



Tonelli Design glass furniture




Although glass is beautiful, it is very fragile and not durable, and its "anti impact" ability is so fragile, it is inevitable that people just want to hold it in their hands and dare not use it for real furniture purposes. However, Italian furniture brand Tonelli Design has gone the other way, making the delicate glass hard core, giving them a soft and strong temperament.




Tonelli Design is a famous Italian manufacturer of glass furniture, and the reason why they can do this is because they use a technology to make glass "tough". In the 1980s, they introduced the technology of welding straight glass plates, and found a structural adhesive to make the welded parts not only transparent, but also have strong load-bearing capacity. After decades of development, this technology has reached a very high level of technology, making glass as furniture no inferior to other furniture.




The furniture of Tonelli Design is diversified and has no limitations. This is because they are not only making glass, but also willing to innovate. They have maintained cooperative relations with many designers, which allows their glass furniture products to be at the forefront at any time.




Their styles are very diverse and have no limitations. They are really "playing" with glass. It can be combined with different materials to create a mixed aesthetic feeling. For example, the Naked leather chair manufactured in cooperation with the designer Giovanni Tommaso Garattoni uses transparent glass with side openings to replace the armrests, which not only ensures the comfort of sitting, but also takes into account the wide vision and strong design sense.




Don't think that glass can only be used as an auxiliary in the furniture of Tonelli Design. The Opalina toeletta dresser designed by Cristina Celestino allows glass to carry the beam alone. The clear glass makes the space more transparent and brings the beauty of simplicity at a glance. At the same time, the warm and blue color of the glass itself avoids the monotony of pure color and makes the space very interesting.




The reprocessing of glass materials is the specialty of Tonelli Design. The Il Paese delle Meraviglie series, which cooperates with the designer Paolo Lomazzi, fully displays the beauty of broken glass. It is made of glass fragments. Through the vertical splicing of the molded cone and sphere with the circular glass plate, the "broken mirror and round" glass fragments glow with greater light. It not only retains the transparency of the glass material itself, but also increases the unrestricted sense of disorder caused by the refraction of the fragments. The complex process, coupled with the bright color matching, is really exciting.



Tap the potential of glass

Jeff Zimmerman blowing glass




Jeff Zimmerman is a famous master of glass. He was born in an art family in 1968. His mother is a painter, and his father is a sculptor. The artistic atmosphere that he is exposed to makes him have a higher aesthetic ability. He developed a new way of playing with glass, and used advanced glass manufacturing technology to create unusual lamps, utensils and ornaments, making the shape of glass beautiful to an incredible degree. The glass handicrafts in his hands have overturned the imagination of many people, and people can't help but sigh that the original glass can also take on such a moving shape.




Jeff Zimmerman's history of glass art began when he was 20 years old. In that year, he took a glass class and was attracted by glass products. During his continuous study, he met the Italian glass masters Lino Tagliapietro and Pino Signoretto, and began to become their apprentices. He used his imagination and learned craft to create glass handicrafts.




His works are rich in color, full of mysterious but gentle feelings, and are not only popular with the public, but also recognized by luxury brands such as Tiffany, and have won many cooperation opportunities. Some of his works are permanently collected by the Corning Glass Museum in New York and the Bogota Foundation in Belgium.




Crystal Cluster table lamp is one of his representative works. The translucent blue blown-glass lampshade is mysterious and clear, and the irregular white glass inside is like blooming ice, with a cold and holy beauty. When the lamp is turned off, it can be stored as an independent art. When the light is turned on, the soft warm yellow light shines out, making the whole table lamp faint and soft, elegant and flexible.



Collision of artists

Sainte series color glass lamps




When glass and nylon ribbon meet, what kind of sparks can they collide? Canadian designer Rachel Bussin gave an amazing answer, that is, the Sainte series designed jointly with Lambert&Fils Lighting. Rachel Bussin is an object and space designer in Montreal. She founded her own interior design company Studio Kiff in 2019. Her design incorporates many of her own thoughts and tries to integrate nostalgia and contemporary ideas through her works.




In addition to being a lighting designer, she also has rich experience in interior design. For example, the exhibition hall cooperated with Montreal jewelry brand Myel is very characteristic. The display cabinet decorated with reflective metal materials is matched with red velvet carpet, and the store is romantic and gorgeous.




The Italian lighting company Lambert&Fils also has rich design experience. It is a well-known lighting company in Montreal, founded by Samuel Lambert in 2010, which means Lambert&Sons, to commemorate his parent-child time. Shortly after his son was born, Samuel Lambert chose design and craftsmanship as a souvenir of his childhood in the town. Their designs draw inspiration from architecture and history. The lighting is fashionable and poetic, simple and not simple.




The pendant lamp is made of elegant layered glass, which is supported by strong nylon ribbon, and the vision is very elegant. The chandeliers can be hung separately or superimposed. Because of the simple shape of the chandeliers and the semi-transparency of the glass, the superimposed chandeliers will not appear cumbersome, but present a kind of geometric aesthetics, simple and attractive.




Although glass looks fragile and fragile, as if it has nothing to do with the main practical furniture, but combined with improved technology and imagination, it can also occupy a place in the furniture industry, making our interior appearance unique!
