Home Design - Artistic works

Almost dream-like in nature, the qualities of glass infused with pigment can create artistic works that bring pleasure to the eye at every glance. When the artistic expressions are also engineered for structural integrity, it becomes possible to incorporate them into either a commercial or residential environment.
Walter Gordinier has gained an international reputation as an imaginative, dextrous glass artist. His works' individualistic nature presents a strong point of difference when creating a new mood or centerpiece for a room in a private home or a larger public space.
"Having certified structural strength enables my pieces to be incorporated directly into the architectural bones of a refit," says Gordinier. "They can be custom designed in terms of everything from color schemes to subject matter and ambiance."
The walkway shown above is a good example. The 12ft-long bridge, evoking the reflections of a rushing mountain stream, offers both a design feature and pedestrian link. The walkway looks equally attractive when viewed from below or above.

Respected glass artist Walter Gordinier often takes inspiration for his works directly from nature. The artist's visit to a glacier, with a mountain stream running down it, inspired this understated piece that serves as a screen divide in a private residence.
