People loved these and they were everywhere. I still remember the living room wall in my parent's apartment, which was wallpapered with stacked half circles in orange, beige, and brown.
In these days of muted pastels, few would allow such an assault on the senses to take place on their walls, but the design ideas themselves are making a comeback of sorts in fused glass.
We decided to get in on the fun, but put our own stamp on the idea. Our design creates some visual calm by using fewer elements and framing the color with a wide strip of black; the frame also makes the color pop more.
We also wanted a cleaner separation of the individual colored shapes, which we achieved by separating each colored layer with a layer of clear glass. This creates an additional benefit by creating a 3D effect, very much in keeping with the spirit of the era!
