Shop the Look – Holophane Glass

What is Holophane glass?

Holophane is the term used to describe glass that has been moulded to create crossed or parallel lines across its surface. This texture aims to ‘trap’ the light coming from within, creating a soft and luminous appearance with no glare. Patented in the 1890s, Holophane glass has been an integral part of lighting design for almost 150 years.

We most often use Holophane glass in projects that are looking for a cosy vibe. The texture of the glass adds a level of opulence while the illuminated glow creates a softer atmosphere. This makes it a perfect choice for bars and restaurants who want to create an intimate space for their customers.
