Lauren Barnes,
LB Glass Design - Glass Designer/Maker
Solid, Heavy, Smooth, Rounded, Tactile and Precious
|
|
Lauren’s principal is to create colourful pieces of fused
glass for modern interiors. The pieces are designed to interact with a wide
audience as the glossy finish provokes people to touch the work, and is so
designed to be durable and touch whilst still giving the fragile appearance of
glass. “ I want the public to engage with the glass, unlike in a gallery
context where people are usually unable to touch or use the work.”
|
|
Lauren’s style of glass making captures the movement of the
glass when it is hot, and it’s hardness of when it is cold, it’s heaviness in
contrast to it’s fragility. The glass panels capture light and
movement through the contours, the depth, the colour, and the textures and
highlights on the surface of the pieces. Coloured glass can be seductively
inviting, adding both drama and life into the coldest interior.

Setting up a business in contemporary glass design allows the
freedom to create beautiful pieces of glass art for sale and commission. Lauren
creates large pieces of practical and sculptural glass for interiors. LB Glass
Design targets both the public and private businesses who buy or commission
handmade pieces for interiors. Examples of such types of businesses include the
health authority, the leisure industry, interior designers, hotel/restaurant
owners and architectural and building design environments.

The products of LB Glass Design are also targeted at the
market of interior design. The current interest in interior design whether on
television, in magazines or seen in contemporary bars and restaurants seems to
be phenomenal. Many public and private businesses show a desire for a
contemporary relaxing work or leisure environment by choosing interior design
with unique furnishings and accessories. LB Glass Design can supply a
range of modern and unique glass features for interior design which can be made
to order and accommodate styles, sizes, prices and themes. These unique
characteristics of the business are available to both public and private
business and to individuals.
