Using Glass for Interior Design and Decor

Glass, a pivotal invention of human history, was initially employed as a cutting tool and has been in existence for approximately 75,000 years. Its earliest records of production can be traced back to ancient Egypt and Mesopotamia. Over time, the art of glass-making progressed in various civilizations and nations, and with the Industrial Revolution, it became a widely used material. In architecture, glass served as a sealing element as early as 100 AD.

Glass is a multifaceted material with exceptional characteristics, serving both as a decorative piece and a structural component. With its transparent properties, light can be manipulated through reflections and filters. The surface of glass can be treated to provide different textures and levels of translucence to the surroundings, making it a versatile material.

It can be employed as closures, partitions, finishes, or even as decorative objects. Explore various ways of incorporating glass into interior architecture projects mentioned below.
