Smart Glass creates 3D light structures
With its roots deep in the weaving industry and significant expertise in technical tissues, Ettlin has created the innovative tissue technology dubbed Ettlin Lux which generates three-dimensional light structures when combined with LED light. At the Light + Building, the company plans to introduce its Smart Glass products, based on the Ettlin Lux. This technology adds the third dimension to glass, the company says.
The three-dimensional light effects are generated through embedding the lighting-relevant tissue into a compound glass material. If LED light is transmitted through the Smart Glass, varying light bodies are created depending on material, arrangement, and viewing angle. These light structures feature a pronounced spatiality with a depth effect that significantly surpasses the space actually used.
The creative potential of Smat Glass based solutions for architecture, art and design is virtually unlimited, the company says. The material can be used to create large-area light installations, privacy shields, or furniture surfaces. Designers can use it to create a presentable ambience in bars, restaurants or hotels or to place visual emphasis on shops and showrooms. What’s more, the transparent and translucent properties of the material can be controlled by technical devices such as switching on and off the background lighting. This results in many additional options in office architecture, Ettlin believes.
The technology can be used to dynamically change color and intensity of lighting. It also can be used to create and accentuate the desired atmosphere, the Ettlin advertises. It can be used for indoor and outdoor lighting.
