ThinkGlass Releases New and Impressive Artistic Glass… Countertop?
(PRWEB) July 31, 2013 -- Creativity and glass mastery is at the heart of the new ThinkGlass artistic glass piece. This impressive 4-inch thick slab is using the Crystal color glass, a very transparent glass nearly devoid of color. This transparency and purity allows the artist and glass master MAILHOT to create beautiful masterpieces by painting colors on the glass. The artistic glass is a multi-level creation with colors applied on different levels, accentuating the effect of depth caused by the extraordinary thickness of the glass.
The artistic bloc is finished with polished edges and ThinkGlass’ perfectly beveled edge.
Streaks of gold can also be found in the glass adding interesting details to the creation.
Although this piece is more like a coffee or a side table than a countertop, keep in mind that this artistic aspect can be incorporated into most ThinkGlass applications. Art can now be included in the kitchen in a very convenient way. Easy to clean, durable and without any chance of cross contamination, this beautiful art piece is functional and can endure a lot more than a painting on the wall.
“ThinkGlass countertops finally make it possible to integrate art into the kitchen in a way that is both functional and extremely beautiful,” said MAILHOT. “Light, colors and organic textures bring an unrivalled shine to our countertops.”
From shimmery hues reminiscent of the ocean to the bold splashes and streaks of a more contemporary mind, the possibilities for creating a truly custom one-of-a-kind glass application are limitless.
MAILHOT work has been exhibited around the world, and his passion continues to unfold every time he completes a new ThinkGlass design. After more than 35 years working with glass, there are almost no secrets about glass left for this Glass Artist.
ThinkGlass countertops are naturally beautiful in their own right with an inherent luminescence. By painting the countertops to suit client specifications, MAILHOT enhances that beauty to show-stopping proportions, creating a remarkable piece that artfully complements its surrounding décor. They are as strong and durable as natural stone and have a textured finish that hides fingerprints and scratches and is impossible to stain.
About THINKGLASS
The ThinkGlass story began in 1999 in an empty room under the leadership of two creative individuals who were passionate about beautiful glasswork. Today, the company is one of the most successful glass design and manufacturing studios in the world with a shop that encompasses more than 30,000 square feet, 27 employees and 21 state-of-the-art, custom made ovens. ThinkGlass is still headed by its two original founders – glass master Michel Mailhot who is the artistic soul of the company, and Bertrand Charest, a certified engineer and company president. Together with their talented team, they produce all manner of glass masterpieces, from residential kitchen to bath- room vanity countertops and backsplashes to fantastical sculptures, wall murals and floor tiles, and even large-scale commercial projects for restaurants, nightclubs and offices.
ThinkGlass quickly became a leader in the thermoforming industry by pioneering a versatile technique that allows the creation of new or repetitive textures. This process allows the creation of glass slabs with-out thickness constraints opening the door to all kinds of design possibilities. All ThinkGlass creations are made from 100% recyclable glass using sustainable practices and without the use of any adhesive or sealant potentially containing harmful volatile organic compounds (VOCs).
