Reflection Dimension: Shanghai's Museum of Glass




Last week’s grand launch of Shanghai’s Museum of Glass marked Shanghai’s campaign to become a globally important cultural and creative centre by having opened 100 museums in just ten years.
The architectural structure and exterior were designed by Shanghai-based German firm Logon. Glashütte Lambets, also of Germany, provided enamelled glass for the museum’s façade, painstakingly inscribed with glass-industry terms in ten languages.
The museum concept and interior art direction were supervised by Coordination Asia, who also oversaw the coordination of all architects, artists and multimedia specialists, forming the bulk of the international team.

Sleek, black glass envelopes the interior and reflects hundreds of tiny LED lights to form a multi-dimensional glittering room while screens positioned throughout the space emphasize interaction and highlight the interdependence and influence of  the diversity of continents, materials and peoples involved in the art of glass.
