Glass Inspirationa Consol Creation

G I F T S I N G L A S S

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.
