Introducing an innovative pleated and folded fabric medium for our laminated glass as the feature for our July 2022 Quarterly Subscription Package

Folded and pleated fabric artwork laminated within glass now available only at Archetype Glass

Our clients and industry partners already appreciate Archetype Glass as one of the Northeastern United States’ most creative manufacturers of laminated interior glass solutions.  Through our unique and innovative lamination process, we’re able to incorporate a nearly endless combination of textures, colors, patterns and graphic mediums to create one-of-a-kind interior glass solutions for America’s visionary interior designers and architects.

Starting in July, Archetype Glass is proud to announce the launch of a new exclusive collaboration with one of America’s foremost avant-garde fabric artists: Donna Glubo-Schwartz, owner and Principal Designer at Spatial Element.  By way of a new lamination process not available anywhere else, Archetype Glass will now be able to incorporate Spatial Element’s stunning three dimensional pleated and folded fabric artwork in our laminated glass, creating an entirely new portfolio of materials to help interior designers and architects bring their visions to life.

An exclusive collaboration: discover Donna Glubo-Schwartz and Spatial Element

Donna Glubo-Schwartz received her BFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, and has taught at the Missouri State University in both the Art and Fashion Departments. Shortly after graduating, Donna opened Spatial Element, successfully completing many projects in major US airports, casinos in Las Vegas, hotels, restaurants, residential lobbies, as well as health care and corporate locations. Her work has also been juried into the international resource material library Material Connexion.

Spatial Element designs and produces colorful and vibrant custom made fabric.  The studio’s specialty is producing sculptural fabrics, utilizing the Japanese technique of Shibori – the art of manipulating fabric through folding, pinching, blocking, dyeing and stitching fabric to effect the surface of the material.  All pieces are one-of-a-kind and hand formed.  With the start of this new and exclusive collaboration, these unique three-dimensional pieces can now be incorporated into Archetype Glass’ laminated glass interior design solutions.
