One of the companies I most wanted to visit when we attended KBIS 2011 at the end of April was ThinkGlass, because what those folks are producing these days is such a breath of fresh air.

Joel Berman Glass Studios is one of North America’s premiere design and manufacturing firms working in architectural glass. Installations of their work can be found in New York City’s Chrysler Building, The Gap World Headquarters in San Francisco, and Disney’s Wilderness Lodge in Orlando.

How a kitchen is lit makes a difference. There are task lights, mood lights, focus lights, and so on. Apart from the utility of the lighting there is also the aesthetics of it. The proper lighting can add so much to a kitchen design, and that’s what I found so stimulating about Lowery’s Hot Glass.

UltraGlas is most definitely on the cutting edge when it comes to glass designs. Gees, that seems so bland; perhaps we should describe what they do as glass glories. What I find fascinating about these designs, though, is that so many of them can be used for both commercial and residential uses.
