AGC to Present New Relationship Between Information and Glass Space at Milan Design Week
OREANDA-NEWS. Asahi Glass Company (AGC), a world-leading manufacturer of glass,
chemicals and high-tech materials, will present a space design exhibition using its new glass
products at the upcoming Milan Design Week in Italy. Glascene™ and infoverre™, born out of the
idea of changing glass walls and windows into a stylish medium for communicating information,
will create a new relationship between information and glass space that will overturn conventional
concepts of digital signage. Using the Milan Design Week as a starting point, AGC aims to market
both products in a wide range of areas, including architecture and design.
Glascene™ is a glass screen that allows images to be projected onto transparent glass. Three-meter-high screens of Glascene™ will be positioned meticulously and dynamically in a roughly 200-square-meter venue to create a new visual space blending the texture of glass with its unique transparency and reflective properties. Combined with the clear and beautiful images displayed through infoverre™, the space will allow visitors to experience the possibilities of glass as an information interface.
AGC will offer a range of possibilities for Glascene™ and infoverre™ in the field of media glass where glass is used as information interfaces. The Milan Design Week will be just the beginning. At EXPO Milano 2015, infoverre™ will be used as the Media Table in Scene V of the Japan Pavilion display section. The product will offer highly realistic images that will seem to float toward the viewer.
Integrating the glass and chemical technologies it has developed over many decades, AGC is responding to needs in a whole range of fields, including digital signage. AGC’s glass exhibition at the Milan Design Week will showcase how glass technology interacts with art and design.
