Designing Transparency: Glass in Modern Design, Toromanoff Agata

Glass has been used for centuries to create tableware or design objects, but now designers from all over the world are pushing the boundaries of the materials optical properties. Playing with transparency can lead to intriguing solutions. The featured designs in this book -- such as screens, carafes, lamps, tables, seating, and shelves, all made from glass -- show the possibilities for introducing visual lightness into spaces via transparency. Each photograph is accompanied by text describing the designers connection with glassware artistry, and provides analysis of the individual pieces and their visual appeal.
