Developed by Penny Herscovitch and Dan Gottlieb, Bubble Glass contains perfect grids of tiny bubbles and a variety of bubble patterns. Bubble Glass originated during PadLAb's 2004 architectural glass commission for a residence on the coast of Brazil. While attempting to create a colorful mesh pattern in glass, the team discovered the Bubble Glass technique, which involves fusing multiple layers of glass in a kiln. PadLAb is now working on a light fixture using Bubble Glass with embedded CCFLs. The glass is purposefully side-lit to highlight the bubbles within the material. [via PadLAb.]
