FUSING WHAT IS THAT?

During past decades, the emergence of new techniques have democratized the glass decoration. The Eolcha studio has chosen to use one of them: fuzed glass, also know as Fusing.

Fusing is also known as “Contemporary Stained Glass”, because of the quality of its visual rendering. As classical stained glass, glass pieces are hand-made (cut, extrusion, grinding).The assembly of the glass parts, done by fusion in a special kiln, gives compositions very bright and colorful.

With this technique, we can have simple or complex compositions. Especially by:

• stacking or juxtapositing glass pieces and colors,
• inclusion of metals, vegetable or mineral,
• addition of pigments or bubbles,
• sandblast...

WHY?

Combined with setting in volume by thermoforming, Fusing offers a wide range of applications: doors, windows, transom, partitions, guardrail, furniture, lighting, sculpture...

BENEFITS

Decorative element or true art-work that must occupy a unique position in a room, each creation is an opportunity to imagine and to manufacture a unique customized decoration.

Using Fusing allows light to travel. It is also an opportunity to create or to modify an atmosphere. By choosing the good color harmony, we can have an atmosphere; warmer, cooler, more quiet more sparkling...

Transparent fused glass abolishes the walls and allows light to travel towards the other rooms.

Opalescent fused glass lets light to travel but it stop view, protecting intimacy (e.g. for a bathroom).

You like classic or contemporary style ? Let the Eolcha Studio imagine for you the drawings and colors that are going to harmoniously integrated your existing decoration.

After its integration on its frame, a fusing panel is as resistant as a classic glass, and the choice of its thickness is done according to its future usage and the constraints.

GLASS

"Without light, Glass remains cold and hard, but light transforms my creations in rainbow makers"

A glass-work extends beyond its physical limits. The light traveling through, reveals its colors and deploys them. By dressing itself with the glass colors, light makes them traveling before delicately spreading them on the surfaces crossing its path.

A glass creation is an invitation for eyes but also for fingers. To appreciate a glass-work, let your fingers touch it. Smooth, harsh, flat, curved... A tactile landscape is there, waiting to be explored.
