Lasvit LiquidKristal

lasvit.com
LiquidKristal is a new line of architectural glass designed by Ross Lovegrove for the Czech-based Lasvit Group. The transparent glass, which is curved in form and wavy in texture, is the result of a unique thermal-transfer technique. The finished product can be easily customized, allowing large-scale pattern aggregations over multiple sheets that can be used as clear partitions or insulated glass units for exterior facades and storefronts. full caption

The bulbs have a soft-white appearance when turned off, a consumer preference GE discovered through research. The bulbs will last for over 20 years based on three hours of use per day. full caption

Progetto Triennale Tile

Now, with the help of state-of-the-art water-jet cutting technology, Marazzi has developed a new collection of stoneware based on Ponti and Rossellis original design. full caption
