Glassiled, an asset for contemporary design at the d-hotel

Glassiled, a unique product based on a revolutionary new technology developed by AGC Flat Glass Europe, integrates LEDs (Light Emitting Diodes) into laminated glass. As soon as Glassiled was launched, its innovative nature was recognised with a gold medal for design at Batimat. Panels of experts also bestowed awards upon the product at the Interieur and Equip’Baie trade fairs last month. Architects and designers from all walks of life are inspired by the possibilities Glassiled offers for façades and interior design. The stylish d-hotel, designed by architects Benny Govaert and Damiaan Vanhoutte, is the first high-profile project to use this ground-breaking glass.

Chosen for its image of high-tech sophistication, Glassiled has been used to create the perfect atmosphere for several locations in this truly extraordinary Hotel:

Glassiled is used as an attractive communication medium on the magnificent sliding door leading into the ‘Lounge’ bar: the door features the ‘d’ used in the hotel’s logo and is interspersed with points of light that emphasise the elegant perspective the elegance of the long full length transparent partition.
A Glassiled wall covering bearing displaying the ‘d’ logo welcomes visitors into the hotel’s impressive lift.
The relaxation room features a transparent partition made of Glassiled, making it a bright, dynamic space for sport-lovers and guests seeking comfort and a feeling of well-being.

Glassiled is also making its mark on other architecture and design projects. Allowing light through by day and becoming a light source by night, Glassiled is a unique, versatile glass product. Two particularly noteworthy projects are a façade for lighting specialists Targetti at Brussels South (Hugo Neumann) and the balustrades in the Maison Alfort theatre in Paris (Balustra Glassiled).
