Layers
for Glas Italia
3 types of cabinet made entirely by glass, with multiple hanging flaps in the front, middle and back.
Since the tones of each hanging flap made of coloured glass are subtly different, and they can slide to the left or right, various hues emerge depending on how the flaps overlap. This coloured glass technique which involves inserting coloured films between two sheets of glass, and applying heat to them is the expertise of Glas Italia. A wide range of hues can be expressed by layering several colour films. However since the hue changes in accordance with which sequence the films are
layered in, and the colour tone varies with heating, it has involved a considerable amount of trial and error.
