Lacobel Painted Glass for Furniture

Hi ID professionals,

As mentioned in previous article, Lacobel is a brand of painted glass originated from AGC Europe. In Europe, the penetration of glass usage / application for interior is already very high, its becoming a common thing there. The usage is not only limited for wall covering / cladding, but also popular for furniture as well.

I would like to highlight some Lacobel application for furniture usages. Due to many applications, this information would be disseminated in a few series.

Wardrobe is the most common application for painted glass,




especially for its sliding doors. The sliding doors are made from combination of painted glass and aluminum frame. You can have the sense of depth because of the soft reflection of the glass and the color will accent the room with the mood you like.

In this picture, Lacobel Pure White is used. The bright white color is resulted from the extra clear glass used during its production.

This picture also show similar application, you can see the difference highlight of its aluminum frame. Lacobel Luminous Red (will be available in Sept tentatively – Indonesia only) is used for this application.

The painted glass is usually attached onto a wooden panel to strengthened it and to minimize breakage due to impact.

However, it is common in Australia or Europe, the usage of sliding doors without any wooden panel, so, its just painted glass in an aluminum frame. For this application, the safety back need to be applied for safety reason. In case of breakage, the safety back will hold together the glass shards, thus minimize the risk. Please noted, that the safety back application need to pass certain standard. Currently, AS/NZS 2208 standard, grade A, is consider the strictest standard and made as a reference in Australia.

This picture is an interior design of an apartment room in Slovenia. Lacobel light beige and dark brown had been used to match the tone of the room, its combined perfectly with the other materials in the room thanks to the designer creativity. The lacobel acted as a sliding door which also served as a partition between the room and the walk in wardrobe.

This is the 1^st series of the lacobel application for furniture, we’ll come back with more application.

Let us know if you have further inquiry or want to share your idea, we’re looking forward to your feedback.

Painted Glass in Toilet Point of View

Hello!!

This time I would like to introduce the usage of painted glass from a different perspective. It’s the usage of painted glass in a “Toilet”, so, be prepared to view “toilets” with style.

Painted glass due to its superior ease of maintenance, is one of the wall material that having more popular to be used in the toilet, especially in Europe.

Toilet will look cleaner. Cleaning will be much easier, we can easily wipe off the dirts. The glass smooth surface will help in the cleaning, just use a wet cloth to clean it.

(Pic_1: A toilet in Europe)

Toilets need to look clean, don’t trapped in that thought though. Other than clean, painted glass can provide calm and fresh ambience. Painted glass will dramatize the space make it more pleasant and refresh environment.

It can be kept bright by the reflection of the illumination space, unique glass with reflection effect.

(Pic_2: Toilets in Europe)

Painted glass will add sense of luxury in the toilet, even compared to other luxury wall materials like granite, marble, etc. It is an excellent choice to up the user convenience in  a toilet.

(Pic_3: European construction photo)

In Japan, due to its limited space, many designers already started to incorporate glass into their design. The usage of painted glass and combination with mirror is one of the answer to make a wide space effect in a limited space of the toilet.

The reflection of the painted glass will brighten and give spacious feeling. you can arrange the depth of reflection with lighting play as well. Combination of both painted glass and mirror can strengthened the feeling.

(Pic_4: A toilet in Japan)          

One of the benefit  of painted glass is its maximum size, up to 3048x2134mm in standard size. With this large panel, you can have less joints for wall cladding. Its more versatile to your design.

(Pic_5: A toilet in Europe)

The color in the painted glass will dramatize the toilet space, each color will provide a different ambience, apparently white & black is  the most common color, as the colors give clean, cool, calm, and refreshing ambience.

Other colors can also brighten the space, give the illuminating effects, and combination with mirror will help to widen the space.

However, the main feature of the painted glass is it ease of cleaning.

You do want a clean and quite toilet to do your business, right ?

So, we hope its inspire you, let us know if you have any inquiry….

Noted : the painted glass used in the project reference is AGC’s Lacobel.

Graffiti Wall

Recently, we have seen the used of painted glass as “graffiti wall”, means that painted glass is not only used as wall cladding /covering but also been used to write message, white board substitute, projector screen, etc.  

This trend started by companies for business purposes, ie : leave a message in the work station, white board for meeting, write an agenda, or even to inform about today’s  menu in the restaurant.

 

However, the idea has been used at residential premises as well, your house, my house, we can used it in the living room, kid’s room, kitchen, etc, your creativity is the limit.

It can be used as :

1.      a message board between families, to inform each other schedule and whereabout

2.      as a white board for parents to teach their children

3.      to attach pictures or certificates that you are proud of

4.      as a “graffiti wall” for your toddlers, etc.

This come with the usual advantages of using painted glass which are making room more spacious, brighten the room, luxurious feeling, nice finishing, etc. many colors are available now, you can combine it the way you like it.
