Irwin Weiner ASID - Consider the perfection of glass shelves. They're easy to clean. They hold anything and are strong. They don't add superficial patterns or colors to your decor. And they're beautifully sculptural whenever they're well designed. Click on these photos to check out some of the amazing glass shelving creations from Glasitalia. I highly recommend this resource!

Color-Infused Glass in the Works of Paola Petrobelli

Irwin Weiner ASID - Yesterday's toilet paper post now has me on a color jag - and I immediately thought of Paola Petrobelli, the amazing London glass designer (who was once a pro motorbike racer and has an infectious diseases masters degree). You'll see the Murano glass influence on the Padua-born Petrobelli's work, but she has her own simple, elegant, colorful style. Click on each photo for more information.

Is It Possible to Love Window Glass?

Irwin Weiner ASID - Is it possible to love window glass? (Yesterday, I asked if it was possible to love shower doors, so I've been thinking lately about materials we use all the time in our home design projects.) Absolutely, positively YES! The folks at Bendheim offer their Architectural Glass lines, and these are widely used in commercial building projects - but I use their Sample Request system all the time for my residential clients. Bendheim features innovative EcoGlass and glass designed by starchitect Robert Stern, among others. 

I particularly love their Low-Iron Glass line because the glass doesn't have a greenish cast to it. My clients also love to see samples, and Bendheim's Sample Glass request system is wonderful. Note: designer glass isn't only for windows. I use them for glass panels serving as room dividers, interior wall glass inserts, inserts in front doors and French doors, and whole-wall treatments over painted wall surfaces; the texture of some of these architectural glasses is outstanding.
