The Corporate division of Glasform specialises in producing glass products for designers and architects world-wide.

Most notably is the recent work at Princes Square in Glasgow.

Working alongside the designers, John and his team designed and made a series of glass pieces to fit in with the architecture as well as all the lighting for the Shopping Centre which was officially opened by HRH Prince Charles.

Below are some more pictures that show how beautifully Glasform work enhances and blends with its surroundings.


 

The elaborate metal work in the above pictures was designed by the artistic blacksmith Alan Dawson who made all the architectural metal work in Princes Square. John and Alan worked closely on this project to combine the beauties of metal and glass.

 

The Glasform team have worked on many ideas for glass panels which, as always, are made to the customer's exact specifications.

 

 

The first picture shows a glass panel based on a 1920 Vogue Magazine cover. The idea was to incorporate a wide range of different colours, patterns and textures made from molten glass. The pieces were approximatly 10mm thick and were all created at the Glasform Studio. Because of this thickness, each piece had to be cut with a diamond saw and then ground down to produce a true mosaic - without the use of 'lead came'. The glass is approximatly 10mm thick and the face was moulded to give an added 3d interest. The glass is iridised so that with a change in light, there is a change in colour.

This lighting effect can be seen more clearly in the next two pictures, which in fact show the same panel with different intensities of light behind it. The panel is made up of 49 sections and is based on 'The Kiss' by Gustav Klimt. It was originally made to form part of a suspended ceiling with dimmable lighting above it. Throughout the evening, the panel can change gradually from transparent to highly iridised.

The fourth picture shows a leaded panel from a series of Flamingos. Patterned and textured glass was used as a feature.
