Iris

Iris is the new collection of coffee tables and side tables by Alejandra Gandía-Blasco for GANDIABLASCO.‎ The main idea behind the IRIS series is ‘art applied to design’: the colour study of the works created by the designer herself is transferred to the printed vitrified tempered glass table tops, which are suitable for outdoor use.‎ The IRIS tables come in different heights and finishes, and their dimensions complement all of GANDIABLASCO’s outdoor furniture collections.‎ The IRIS designs combine GANDIABLASCO’s classic powder coated aluminium structures with innovative printed glass tabletops thanks to a unique blend of art and new technologies.‎ These surfaces are made of printed vitrified tempered glass, a pure and environmentally-friendly material designed with the best technical, aesthetic and sustainable features that guarantee a high level of durability.‎Tempered printed glass allows for the creation of a wide range of surfaces, through richly-coloured digital designs that vary between transparency and translucency.‎ The designs are fused into the glass with ceramic pigments which, after tempering the glass, are completely vitrified.‎ The glass is fitted directly into the structure, without the need for external fittings, allowing for preservation of the design of the glass.‎ In this case, the digital designs are grounded in the plastic art which is based on the series of sunrises and sunsets captured by the artist Alejandra Gandía-Blasco.‎ Tailor-made designs and materials are combined to create a dynamic and distinctive collection.‎
