Glass - a medium of art that can be traced back 2500 years has seen resurgence in the modern era. With seemingly unlimited possibilities artists have proven now that imagination is the only limit. Likewise, from being an indoor object, modern technology has developed glass to withstand the elements and replace conventional interior and exterior construction. The subtle, classic qualities of glass work makes it perfect in combination with other materials such as wood, brick, concrete and metal. Glass is an ideal material to transform an interior.The wide range of available effects, patterns and colors allow interior designers to create the right look for any application. Some glass products like decorative glasses can be further enhanced to provide added comfort such as reducing noise, safety and improved energy efficiency. The intelligent glass can be used for interior design (projection screens, glass partitions) as it is highly durable, requires less maintenance and is aesthetically pleasing. However, as we look for an improved sense of beauty and architectural expertise, it is observed that glass furniture is showing new paradigms to design homes better. Glass is used in furniture and it is gaining a lot of momentum these days as it has been observed that glass makes the living room look exceptionally good. The kind of glass used in furniture is called 'tempered glass'. When a glass of this kind breaks; it doesn't explode into tiny pieces of glass which are both harmful and cumbersome to deal with. Instead, they remain as big pieces and stay intact without releasing minute glass particles, which could scatter around on the floor or into food and drinks and cause harm.
