CARVART

CARVART | 30 YEARS
PROCESS BECOMES THE PRODUCT
2005-2012

As projects became more ambitious, CARVART’s role expanded beyond decorative and fabricated glass alone. The work was no longer centered on simply supplying materials or components. It became increasingly focused on solving larger architectural challenges through collaboration, technical understanding, and system development.

During this period, design assist became a defining part of the CARVART process. Early coordination with architects and design teams allowed concepts to evolve through engineering, prototyping, mockups, and continuous refinement before reaching production.

At the same time, the work itself was becoming more complex. Projects now required the integration of glass, metal systems, architectural hardware, specialty finishes, and custom detailing that demanded tighter coordination between trades and a higher level of technical ex*****on.

Rather than forcing projects into standard solutions, systems were adapted around the specific needs of each environment. Profiles, hardware, finishes, attachment methods, and assemblies were evaluated not only for constructability, but for how they supported the overall architectural vision.

As interior architecture evolved, expectations around architectural glass systems became more demanding. Projects required cleaner integration, improved performance, greater flexibility, and more refined ex*****on across increasingly complex systems and materials. CARVART responded by developing internal workflows and technical processes that allowed complex ideas to move from concept to reality with greater consistency and control.

Collaboration became as important as fabrication itself. Architects returned not simply because of the final product, but because of the company’s reliability, adaptability, and ability to solve technical challenges in real time.

This period marked a major shift for the company. CARVART was no longer operating solely as a glass fabricator. It had evolved into a strategic architectural partner where engineering, coordination, process, and ex*****on carried equal importance to the material itself.

Geodec: Structured Texture with Metallic Depth

Geodec joins the CARVART Couture line as a refined exploration of texture, rhythm, and metallic layering. Developed through the CARVART DSA Collection, this material reflects a continued focus on combining dimensional surfaces with embedded detail to create visually engaging architectural glass. This design features fluted glass paired with a metallic deco textile interlayer, forming a vertical cadence that feels both structured and expressive. The repetition of pattern creates a sense of order, while the metallic threads introduce depth and subtle movement as light interacts across the surface. The result is a material that feels tactile, elevated, and intentionally composed.

Available in Silver, Bronze, Copper, and Gold, Geodec can be specified as Transparent or Mirror Backed, allowing the material to shift from light-filtering to highly reflective depending on the application. Its versatility supports both understated installations and more dramatic, statement-driven environments.

With panel sizes up to 70 inches wide by 94 inches high and a 7/16 inch thickness, Geodec is designed for vertical applications where texture, light, and material contrast come together to define the space.

ACOUSTIC CONTROL | OFFICE ENVIRONMENTS

ORNAMENTAL GATES
Security with Architectural Grace

CARVART’s custom motorized gates extend the building’s design language beyond the façade and into the threshold itself. Ornamental patterns inspired by classical geometry were paired with concealed automation systems to preserve elegance while delivering modern functionality. Each gate assembly was prefabricated for precision fitment and dependable long-term operation, minimizing site adjustments while maintaining the integrity of the decorative detailing. Carefully matched finishes connect the gates seamlessly to the doors and canopy, reinforcing a unified exterior palette. The result is a system that provides privacy, movement, and security while contributing to the architectural character of the residence.

Protection, performance, and beauty resolved in one cohesive expression.

PREFABRICATED CANOPY
Engineering Above the Entry

The custom entrance canopy was conceived as both shelter and architectural centerpiece. CARVART engineered the system as a fully prefabricated structure, allowing the complete assembly to be delivered and installed as a single unit with exceptional efficiency and control. This strategy reduced field labor, compressed installation timelines, and ensured dimensional accuracy before the canopy ever reached the site. Rich custom metal finishes, integrated glazing, and refined profiles give the structure a sense of permanence while maintaining visual lightness above the entrance. Every detail was considered from structure to finish, resulting in a canopy that performs as seamlessly as it presents.

A complex engineering solution expressed through effortless design.

Lustria: Refined Texture with Subtle Reflectivity

Lustria enters the CARVART Couture line as a composed balance of texture, depth, and reflection. Developed through the CARVART DSA Collection, this material brings a tailored, architectural surface to life through layered detail and controlled sheen. Characterized by its cross-hatched texture, Lustria introduces a finely structured pattern that reads both tactile and visual. The surface interacts with light in a restrained way, offering a soft shimmer rather than overt reflectivity, making it equally suited for understated or elevated design environments.

Offered in Gray, Bronze, Golden Bronze, Rose Gold, Pure, Champagne, and Black, Lustria provides a broad yet cohesive palette. It can be specified with a mirrored backer, or in transparent and backpainted finishes, allowing designers to adjust both depth and reflectivity to suit the application.

With panel sizes up to 70 inches wide by 94 inches high and a 7/16 inch thickness, Lustria is designed for vertical applications where texture, tone, and subtle variation contribute to a refined spatial experience.

CARVART | 30 YEARS
FROM GLASS TO ARCHITECTURE

As CARVART continued to grow within the residential market, the work was still centered on carved and etched glass, defined by craft and controlled production. The systems being built were internal, developed to support customization and scale, but the application remained largely decorative.

That began to shift through an early collaboration with Berger Rait, later renamed BR Design. The ask was straightforward. Design a set of sliding glass doors for an office. At the time, interior glass partition systems were not yet established as a category. There was no standard solution to rely on, no clear precedent for how these elements should function within a workspace.

The response was not to invent something entirely new, but to adapt what already existed. Storefront components were reworked for interior use. Slimmer mullions were sourced and applied beyond their intended purpose. Hardware typically used for wood doors was integrated into glass. CARVART glass became the defining layer that tied the system together.

What was created solved the immediate need, but it also introduced a new way of thinking about the material.

That first installation led to additional opportunities, including early commercial projects such as Warner Music, where glass was no longer treated as a decorative element, but as part of the architecture itself. It began to define boundaries, manage light, and shape how space was organized and experienced.

At the same time, the visual language evolved. Sandblasting remained central, but the expression shifted. Patterns became more restrained, more aligned with contemporary interiors. What had been developed for residential environments was recontextualized for commercial applications, extending the same techniques into a different scale and purpose.

This period did not mark a departure from craft, but an expansion of it.

Glass was no longer only something applied to a space. It became something that could structure it.
