Glass is one of those materials many people hesitate to use in furniture (hint: fingerprints). But avoiding it means missing out on something quite special.
There are so many artists working with glass in a way that turns this fragile material into sculptural, almost weightless forms. It doesn’t just reflect light and visually open up a space, depending on the finish, it can also introduce subtle texture.
In my work, I use glass to contrast softer textiles or heavier, more grounded materials. It brings a certain clarity and elegance. I also like incorporating coloured glass, which is a restrained way to introduce colour without overwhelming a space.
Whether it’s a glass divider, a coffee table, or a delicate object that sits somewhere between function and art, there are many ways to work with it.
Here are eight pieces I’ve come across recently that I keep coming back to. Most are handmade or vintage and each one is unique. All stores and designers are tagged in the post.
