Transformations: Furniture in Glass

The exhibition, at Broadfield House Glass Museum in the West Midlands, is part of the International Festival of Glass and features a wide range of glass furniture.

The pieces range, from functional designs, such as a desk and glass wall panels by Birmingham-based furniture company Glass Domain to witty conceptual works such as Victoria Scholes glass dustpan and brush from the ‘Domestic Gospels’ series. 

Danny Lane, an American sculptor and artist based in London, is showing his iconic Etruscan Chair.  This is an early design that helped to forge his reputation as a pioneer of contemporary glass furniture.

Other highlights include glass curtains by Robyn Smith, Dot Hill’s dinner table complete with glass meal, an elegant console table designed by Katy Holford, a leaf-shaped cast glass table by Colin Reid, and a glass and stainless steel throne by Stuart Garfoot and Vanessa Cutler on loan from the Chancellor of the University of Wolverhampton.  

 

Where: Broadfield House Glass Museum, Compton Drive, Kingswinford, West Midlands, DY6 9NS.

This event ends: 27th February, 2011
