Glass shelves: elegant transparencies


Glass shelves play an important role in our home because they contribute to create a sense of lightness, elegance and transparency, by balancing an enhanced sense of unconventional beauty and design.

Very convenient to store books and household items, shelves represent an excellent alternative to furniture or bookcases, that could in a certain way, upset wall finishes and measures;a shelf, simple but really useful, offers a unique diversion, avoiding to waste small wall spaces, like over sofas, desks or chest of drawers.

Because of its transparency, they add to the décor of any room: infact, from certain distants, the objects placed on them seem to float in the air. Going closer, the support becomes visible and, at the same time, remains evanescent thanks to the transparent finish. In this way the harmony of the wall, if it's completely cluttered, is safe.

You may also have tinted glass shelves, to create particular and original combinations on light or white walls, with a different type of equilibrium, composed by contrasts and opposite colours. Have a look at Blade wall shelf by Calligaris, available also in black. Its design surpass simple functionality and is realized in curved tempered glass

One great feature is the possibility to give shapes to glass: and if with a transparent shelf, items are floating in the air, with a particular shaped shelf, the same elements give life to unusual wall pictures.

The right example is Step design shelf by Calligaris, characterized by out of the ordinary details. Thanks to its particular shape as the name says, it offers the possibility to be hung on the right or left side

Otherwise, Jazz glass shelf by Bontempi: it has the shape of a checkmark and is made of glass to give strength and thickness at the same time .
