Painted glass is produced by adding paint coating to glass, which has a unique hard texture and reflectivity, to give interiors beautiful, deep tones. In Europe, where the colored glass market is said to be 30 times larger than that in Japan, painted glass is widely used not only in shops and offices but also in homes, for example, in living areas as a wall panel from which marks and scribbles can be wiped off easily.

Every year, AGC selects “This year’s colors” and develops matching paint coating in cooperation with color designers in Europe. Taking advantage of the compatibility of paint and glass, Lacobel is opening up the possibility of designing future spaces with its vivid, pure colors.
