Glass slumping

Slumping shapes glass over a metal mold made in advance, at a temperature above 600 °C. This is how both curved fronts and art pieces are made.

Works

Bent glass for furniture and display cases

We make fronts in the shape of a semicircle, an arch or a wave for a specific cabinet. Glass display cases and stair railings, including for spiral stairs, are also made in this technique.

Art slumping

The same technology is used to shape decorative pieces: statuettes, figures, elements of compositions. A metal mold is made for the order, a sheet of glass is heated in a tunnel kiln and shaped over the mold.

Decorating the finished piece

A design can be applied to the shaped glass, or stained glass can be added. Artistic elements are used to decorate furniture, glass items and mirrors.

Frequently asked questions

How does slumping differ from fusing?

Slumping gives a sheet of glass its shape over a mold at a temperature above 600 °C. Fusing melts pieces of glass together into a single sheet at 800 °C.

Can I order a piece of non-standard shape?

Yes. The metal mold is made for the specific order.
