Product Focus: Glass & Glazing
ViviGraphix Elements Glass
Forms + Surfaces
Responding to a demand for new color palettes, the manufacturer has expanded its wood-pattern–inspired Elements series with four new styles in lighter hues. Timber (shown) is a take on weathered wood, with horizontally running grain lines. Hale is a thatched pattern in warm honey tones. Arctic has a bleached-wood appearance, and Highlight features a random pattern. The sheets measure 60“ x 120“ and come in a non-reflective or reflective finish.
V.I.A. Architectural Solutions
Steelcase
In today's open office spaces, where privacy and acoustics are major issues, interior wall systems like V.I.A. (Vertical Intelligent Architecture) can make all the difference. Its sturdy steel framework, “skins” (glass, whiteboard, or steel panels), and precise mechanical skin-attachment brackets are all manufactured with acoustical seals to ensure quiet conversation for booths and large conference rooms alike.
Weil Studio Collection
Pulp Studio
Pulp's ongoing collaboration with photographer Amanda Weil led to this custom floral installation for Bel Air Bar and Grill in California. To produce crisp graphics that are visible inside and outside the building, the studio laminated a double-layer of the imagery—with a frosted interlayer—onto Solarban glass, then added a further glass layer on the interior side, vacuum sealing it all. Similar custom solutions are available.
Eh Oui for Bendheim
Bendheim
French woven-metal-textile manufacturer Eh Oui makes its debut in the American architectural market with a new decorative-glass line for Bendheim. Four designs are offered: Tempo resembles grass bound together at intervals; Mosaica is a basketweave; Anida has an intricate lace-like appearance; and Galina abstractly references houndstooth patterning. All are encapsulated in 8mm-thick glass sheets.
VistaLuxe Collection Windows
Kolbe
With its slim minimalist frames supporting large expanses of glass, VistaLuxe windows create clean lines well suited to modern architecture projects. The units can be specified in a Flush style where the glass, sash, and frame are on the same plane, or an Accent profile, where only the sash is recessed. The interior-facing side of the frame is offered in nine different wood species.
Tessella
Joel Berman Glass Studios
This kiln-cast glass features a tessellated pattern of fanlike shapes on the front, while the back appears more amorphous, organic, and fluid. But both sides possess three-dimensionality that offers visual interest and play of light. Suitable for backsplashes, screens, sliding doors, and divider or feature walls, Tessella comes in panels measuring 53” x 108” and can be back-painted in a range of colors.
