ForewordGlass Inspiration: A Consol Creation is
essentially an online photographic journal;
a “It’s Good it’s in Glass” showcase. The
pages that follow are a collation of a
series of glass images sure to inspire and
unleash the vibrant and resourceful muse
within.
Attractively practical, consistent in form and
limitless in function, glass as a medium is as
reliable as it is versatile. Not surprisingly, the
enviable virtues of glass make it the obvious
choice when serving and storing food. As
beautiful to look at as it is healthy: glass is
pure and natural. Completely inert, it will
never compromise the taste or quality of
its contents.
With its timeless elegance and classic good
looks, glass is the perfect expression of
style and good taste. Add a touch of glass
and styling a table setting becomes an
artistic expression of form meets function.
It has the ability to add brilliance, sparkle,
nostalgia and romance to every occasion
and its unsurpassable qualities make it
appealing on a functional, emotional and
aesthetic level.
With as many uses as your mind can
imagine, glass can be infinitely reused
without ever losing its strength or good
looks. Simply reinvent and reuse it, over
and over again, without ever harming the
environment. A sustainable choice that’s
good for you and good for the environment.
With that as a framework, we hope you find
the content within these pages inspiring
useful and relevant. Free your creative
genius, explore, take pleasure and enjoy
this passage with us, as you use glass to
add quality to your life.
