3form presents a product that builds on the brilliant success of the varia™ system—and simultaneously expands the concept of architectural glass. The new 3form Glass collection transcends the use of two-dimensional interlayers to encapsulate surprising elements within a breathtaking material that shines with artistic possibilities.

3form Glass is based on a patent-pending fabrication technology originally developed by CTEK's founder Eric Adickes. The technology sets itself apart in two ways: first, the lamination process allows even distribution of objects throughout the glass, and second, it makes possible clean, exposed edges that allow for a frameless application. 3form and CTEK have collaborated to commercialize this technology to successfully—and seamlessly—fuse glass, resin and interlayers into spectacularly dramatic panels.

True to the perception of its crystalline heritage, Glass emits brilliant displays of light, allowing architectural designers to capitalize on reflective and refractive interactions. Its structural properties make the product appropriate for both internal and external applications and even permit polished edges when no framing is desired.
