Our Glass Collection

Glass is not just a material — it is a design tool. The right glass can flood a room with light, add warmth or coolness to a color palette, create privacy without building walls, and transform a utilitarian space into something genuinely beautiful.

Explore our collection with an emphasis on decorative and artistic applications.

Premium Option

Starphire Glass (Low Iron)

Starphire eliminates the faint green tint found in standard glass, delivering crystal-clear transparency that shows your space in its true colors. For creative projects where color accuracy matters — gallery storefronts displaying art, bathrooms with carefully chosen tile palettes, or display cases showcasing products — Starphire is the material of choice.

The difference is subtle but transformative: whites appear whiter, colors appear truer, and the glass itself seems to disappear, leaving only the view through it. In Bushwick lofts with abundant natural light, Starphire maximizes that light without adding any unwanted color cast.

  • True color representation for art and design
  • Maximum light transmission with zero tint
  • Preferred for gallery and storefront applications

Tinted Glass: Color as a Design Tool

Bronze and gray tinted glass do more than add color — they shift the emotional temperature of a room. Bronze glass warms a space the way amber light does, creating intimacy and richness. Gray glass cools a space, pairing naturally with concrete, steel, and the industrial materials found throughout Bushwick architecture. Both tints provide subtle privacy and are more forgiving of water spots than clear glass.

Privacy & Obscure Glass: Art Through Distortion

Obscure glass was born from the need for privacy, but designers have increasingly embraced it as a creative medium. Each texture bends light differently, turning familiar views into abstract compositions. Frosted glass softens edges into gentle hazes. Reeded glass stretches images into vertical lines. Acid-etched glass creates a silky veil that catches light in unexpected ways. These are not just privacy solutions — they are design decisions that shape how a space feels.

How Glass Transforms a Space

The same room can feel completely different depending on the glass you choose. Here is a guide to matching glass character with design intent.

To Maximize Light

Starphire (Low Iron)

Removes the green tint of standard glass, allowing maximum light transmission. Ideal for north-facing rooms, interior partitions, and gallery spaces where clarity is paramount.

To Add Warmth

Bronze Tinted

Casts a warm amber glow that makes whites appear creamy and creates a spa-like atmosphere. Pairs beautifully with brass hardware, natural wood, and warm-toned tile.

To Create Cool Sophistication

Gray Tinted

Introduces a modern, contemplative quality. Complements concrete, stainless steel, and the industrial materials found in Bushwick warehouse conversions.

To Add Texture Without Color

Frosted / Reeded / Acid-Etched

Changes how light moves through a space without altering its color. Creates depth, movement, and visual interest while providing varying degrees of privacy.

To Reference Industrial Heritage

Wire Glass

The embedded wire mesh pattern nods to the factories and warehouses that defined this neighborhood. Now specified decoratively for its distinctive crosshatch aesthetic.

To Achieve Total Privacy with Light

White Laminate

Blocks all visibility while transmitting a soft, diffused glow. Creates luminous walls that feel less enclosed than solid construction. Striking when backlit.
