SCHOTT Australia announces the availability of Narima colour effect glass in three new colours, taking the total number of colour combinations to six.
Narima from SCHOTT is a special-purpose glass featuring a shimmering rainbow-like colour effect, and preferred by architects, artists and designers to create lively colour impressions. The special glass is now also available in yellow, orange and light green.
The colour of Narima glass varies depending on the viewing angle and the sun. This effect is achieved as a result of the various ultra-thin, mainly metal oxide coating layers applied to a base glass plate during manufacturing with the dipping method. The characteristic rainbow effect results from the combination of highly refractive and low refractive layers.
The facade of the Bavarian State Opera’s rehearsal building in Munich provides an example of the use of Narima glass.
Matthias Anton, Product Manager for Architecture & Design at SCHOTT AG explains that the huge interest of architects, artists, designers, glass processors and facade construction companies in Narima glass motivated them to add the three additional colours to the range.
