Project Description
Bendheim’s Full Restoration Glass® lends a refined historic character to the master bathroom and kitchen of this New York City residence. The unique glass has been used in our country’s most prestigious historic restorations, including the White House, and, in addition to interior designers and architects, has become a favorite of film set designers seeking to lend authenticity to high-profile period dramas. Restoration Glass® is handmade using centuries-old techniques to create its authentic antique charm. It exhibits mild surface distortions, an occasional air bubble or pit, and other “imperfections” found only in original mouth-blown window glass from the 17th through early 20th centuries.
Once an artist’s loft, the private residence was designed and renovated by White Arrow, under the guidance of architects at Space Exploration. A divided-lite metal and Restoration Glass® bathroom partition takes advantage of the natural light in the room. The mouth-blown glass kitchen cabinet fronts feature subtle texture and “movement” to coordinate with other traditional design elements, such as the brass cabinet pulls and white subway tile backsplash.
