With an artful fusion of color, metal and texture in an innovative large glass format measuring up to 47.25”x110”, VETRITE is ideal for contract and hospitality settings. It’s durable, scratch-proof surface does not require waterproofing and can be customized for nearly any surface application with straight or beveled edging, the company states. Upon request, further customization and treatment for hydrophilic and photocatalytic properties will enhance the surface to become self-cleaning and antibacterial.
“VETRITE allows the architect to think freely about cladding, without any kind of constraints,” states Bernard Lax, founder and CEO of Pulp Studio. “We saw an opportunity to partner with the innovative Italian SICIS Factory to create a unique collection that has virtually limitless application flexibility. It hits all the hot trends for contract and hospitality design with impressive color, texture, metal and scale. It’s also really durable and easy to maintain. VETRITE is truly the ultimate decorative solution.”
About Pulp Studio
Pulp Studio has been designing and manufacturing technically advanced decorative glass for commercial markets since its inception in 1997. Founder and CEO Bernard Lax is a passionate advocate for the creative uses of glass as a building element and the brand’s defining mission from the beginning was to fill the void in the market for innovative uses of glass in interior and façade projects. Pulp Studio’s technique combines technical prowess with design sensibility; creating products that reside at the intersection of fashion and function.
Pulp Studio employs craftsmen, artists, scientists and inventors who view working with glass as an artistic endeavor – their medium being glass. The company’s capabilities include bending, hand-color coating, laser etching, glass carving, screen print imaging, drilling and notching, and a patented system for uniformly illuminating panels using high-intensity LEDs. Every project is another opportunity for Pulp Studio to further enrich the idea of ‘custom’ by delivering products that are superior in design and functionality. One of the company’s insulated glass products, Ombra™ achieves a solar heat gain coefficient superior to that of other insulated glass units, dramatically reducing climate control requirements and providing significant energy savings over the life of a building.
Working in collaboration with architects and design studios, Pulp Studio’s products have been used in numerous high-profile projects including the Seattle Space Needle, the Aquarium of the Pacific in Long Beach, California, the Wilshire Grand in downtown Los Angeles and the Gores Group Headquarters in Beverly Hills, California.
