The Glass Block Table
This design repurposes an abandoned decorative glass block window, commonly found in old Austrian buildings, and transforms it into a functional table. The process focuses on reusing discarded materials, giving them new life and purpose. The result is a unique table that combines the privacy and texture of the glass blocks with the modern strength of metal, turning a once-forgotten object into a functional and stylish piece of furniture.
While the concept of using glass as a building material is ancient, the specific use of glass blocks as a distinctive element in 20th-century architecture developed through mass industrial production and the spread of modernist ideas.
