We worked with recycled cast glass as a medium to develop the Mano collection, a celebration of the beauty and allure of raw cast glass. In developing the first collection we began with a traditional roman brick and built upon this with a complimenting curved brick and breeze block design.

  • Through the hand cast process each brick is unique with ripples derived from the open poured process. It was important that the form be quiet to celebrate the material allowing the collection to be used in large scale applications covering both curving facades, columns and walls with possible use even in interiors. The true beauty of the collection can be seen when the pieces interact with light, this is why we developed the collection from the perspective to bring in the natural light and create translucent walls connecting the outside to the inside to work with not against natural light.

  • The Mano collection is a celebration of the long-lasting, renewable, miraculous material glass. Each brick – made of 70 percent recycled glass and 30 per cent quartz sand – is cast by hand, resulting in raw, uniquely textured organic surfaces. The Mano Glass Bricks open up the possibilities of what a wall can be, inviting in natural light while offering a pared back aesthetic that makes a statement. Available in three shapes and a curved brick perfect for highlighting features, the Mano Glass Collection invite you to think differently about what a brick is.

The designs encourage natural light in interiors and offer incredibly longevity through test engineered designs suitable for both interior and exterior walls.
