Trend Alert: Glassware to Luxe-Up Your Abode

p/p pandnbsp;/p pIn the design industry today, glass is noticeably replacing typical interior materials such as wood and stone. This trend was made possible by new refining technologies and the creativity of the glass refiners with respect to product development. While glass has been a preferred material for faandccedil;ades for a long time, the glass trend in interior design only started in the last 10 years./p pandnbsp;/p pIndustrial glass producers, refiners and glass processors are using various approaches to introduce architects and designers to the unique possibilities offered by glass in the interior space and product design, and their efforts have been clearly successful./p pandnbsp;/p pDigital printing, new laminating technologies, laser technology and classic refining processes such as screen printing, sandblasting and etching continue to offer numerous possibilities to create sophisticated design glass from simple flat glass./p pandnbsp;/p p style="text-align: center;"/p pandnbsp;/p pandnbsp;/p pThere are hardly any limits to the creativity of designers, architects and contractors in the design of glass products. Ceilings, floors, room dividers, doors, wall panels, stairs, side rails and furniture made of glass can be individually aligned with room concepts. Glass products also find a wide area of use in bathrooms and kitchens. Shower stalls and wash basins as well as radiators made of refined glass create a sophisticated ambiance, so do glass cabinet doors, kitchen mirrors, countertops or even entire kitchen fronts./p pandnbsp;/p pandnbsp;/p pFor accessories such as vases, jars, bottles etc either the blow and blow or the press and blow methods are still used. Drinking glasses and other objects such as glass bowls and vases were originally made by hand blowing the glass into a mould. This glass making method is still in use today and is a highly-skilled craft producing high quality and unique products./p pandnbsp;/p p style="text-align: center;"/p pandnbsp;/p pandnbsp;/p pA hollow blowing-iron or pipe is dipped into molten glass which is rotated and andlsquo;gathersandrsquo; glass. This is then rolled on an iron slab to form the parison. It is further manipulated by reheating and blowing so that it forms the rough shape of the mould. This is then transferred to the final mould which is wet with water. The water forms a steam cushion so that the glass does not actually toughen the mould. The craftsman blows air into the pipe to blow the parison into shape whilst continuously rotating the pipe to prevent blemishes from forming. It forms unique and beautiful pieces./p pandnbsp;/p pThe possibility of staining, colouring, etching on glass just makes it the most versatile material for interior dandeacute;cor accessories. For a designer, a material like that is great because it allows you to be experimental and walk on the wild side. Glass has internationally been one of the most used products for decor designers, right from India all the way to Japan, Italy and France./p pandnbsp;/p pstrongMore On andgt;andgt; a href="http://www.luxpresso.com/homes-real-estate/accessories" target="_blank"Accessoriesandnbsp;/a/strong/p
