CARVART | 30 YEARS
EXPANDING THE MATERIAL LANGUAGE
As architectural design evolved, so did the role of glass. What began with decorative etched panels gradually expanded into a broader exploration of color, texture, transparency, and layered materials. As new lamination technologies emerged, CARVART saw an opportunity not just to improve the product, but to rethink what architectural glass could become.
Advances in lamination opened entirely new possibilities. Colors, textures, interlayers, fabrics, metallic meshes, and specialty materials could now be combined into unique compositions that weren’t possible before. Rather than simply introducing new products, CARVART embraced a culture of experimentation, continually testing new ideas and discovering new ways to layer materials together. Early innovations like the CARVART Modular System, paired with the CARVART Virtual Sample, allowed architects to mix and match textures, colors, and glass types while visualizing thousands of possible combinations long before digital configurators became common.
As the collections evolved, so did CARVART’s approach. Glass was no longer viewed as a standalone product, and hardware was no longer treated as a separate offering. Together, they became part of a more complete architectural solution. By introducing innovative European hardware systems and pairing them with custom architectural glass, CARVART began offering a more integrated approach that better reflected the needs of architects and designers.
This period also marked the beginning of a more thoughtful approach to materials as a whole. Metallic meshes, textiles, natural interlayers, and decorative elements expanded what could be achieved within glass, while each new collection pushed craftsmanship and technology forward together. Every material was selected not simply for its appearance, but for how it contributed to the overall design experience.
Over time, this philosophy extended beyond individual products. Every new material, finish, and system was carefully curated to work together across the broader CARVART offering, ensuring consistency from one solution to the next.
