Glass Furniture

Glass was used not only in window and door constructions, but also in interior objects. Due to the high plasticity and strength of this material, it is possible to produce transparent furniture that perfectly fits the design of many rooms. For glass furniture use a safety triplex thickness of 8 mm or tempered glass. These options prevent splitting and the formation of fragments, which will easily be injured. In the event of a breakdown (which is very rare), such a glass is broken up into small pieces with blunt faces that can not cause serious injuries.

Glass furniture in the interior

Modern furniture designers have long paid attention to the unusual properties of glass. They can decorate individual furniture elements (table tops, shelves, partitions) or use it for making frames and supporting elements. In the second case, the effect of "soaring" furniture is created, which seems to dissolve in space. These products are widely used in the style of high-tech, which promotes the aesthetics of the material and restrained decor. In high-tech style, glass is combined with plastic and metal, deliberately discarding wooden parts. Typical representatives of this style are transparent coffee tables , racks or unusual curved shelves.

Glassware is also often used in classical interiors. Here, the traditional modular walls for the living room are decorated, decorated with gilded glass and matte patterns. In the Art Nouveau style they use an unusual colored glass, which looks great on the facades of the cabinets of the compartment. For futurism fits unusual avant-garde furniture and lighting for glass shelves.

Glass in different rooms

Designers widely use glass furniture for the whole apartment. Consider the features of the use of glass products in certain rooms:

1. Glass furniture for living room . Perhaps the most common product is a coffee table with a frame made of wood and a table top made of glass. For table top use transparent, toned and frosted glass. Depending on the chosen effect, the illusion of steaming or glamor gloss is achieved. Also, bookcases, shop windows and cupboards with glass facades are also popular.
2. Glass furniture for the bathroom . This room is usually limited in space, so the chosen furniture should create a feeling of lightness and spaciousness. For the bathroom is suitable furniture with glass facades, hinged transparent shelves, sinks and various pedestals. Interesting are the countertops made of thick glass. They create a sense of weightlessness, relieving unwanted busyness and crowdedness.
3. Glass furniture for the kitchen . In the kitchen, guests and family members often gather, so its design should be as stylish and comfortable as possible. The highlight of the kitchen will easily become a dining table with a table top made of glass. The worktop can have a bright rich color in the tone of the kitchen furniture or a transparent texture. In the second case, the focus is on the bottom of the table, which is visible through the transparent glass. These can be curved legs or forged shelves. Glass tables are comfortable and stylish furniture for the kitchen.
4. Glass office furniture . Here, strictness, simplicity and brevity are welcomed. All these criteria are met by glass tables with a rectangular table top. The frame of furniture can be wooden or metal.
