Glass offers unique aesthetic possibilities to furniture designers, and is very durable and low maintenance, as it is not harmed by moisture and is highly resistant to wear and scratching. Almost every piece of furniture in a house can be made from or incorporate glass: coffee tables, dining tables, book cases and shelves, TV units, media storage, office furniture, lighting, aquaria, and other accessories. Glass furniture is particularly ideal where the available light needs to be maximised, because it reflects and transmits light rather than absorbing it. It also adds a bright, vibrant effect, thereby increasing the light in a room subjectively as well as in real terms.
