FORM
A constructive element for walls and structures of diverse geometries, the glass block has always been identified as a truly simple and essential form: a parallelepiped differing in predefined dimension modules.
Seves’s experience and productive know-how, the fruits of specialized research and development activities, permit it to go beyond production limits previously considered insurmountable.
Thanks to a team of specialized technicians, Seves can now create glass block solutions based on relative modifications to the production line and the former mold, which plays a crucial role in the shaping of the glass block.
Such was the case for the special glass block created by Studio Moneo–Brock, for the Thermal Spa of Tiberio. For the first time, a section of the classic parallelepiped glass block was altered to make a trapezoid with a 5° inclination, to facilitate the natural cascade of water.
Or the Doric glass block, the first of its kind to be embossed on one side with channeled parallel lines in relief, similar to the motif characterized by Doric columns.
These experiences give a glimpse of the many new possibilities for glass block customization, where the form can be modified not only in shape but also in its three-dimensionality and glass mass.
