Glass is everywhere in modern architecture, from impressive façades to windows and interior design. But at glasstec 2026 in Düsseldorf, there is more to discover than machinery, industrial applications and the latest processing technologies.
Walking through the exhibition, you can also find glass transformed into paintings, decorative objects, souvenirs and unique artistic creations. Through colour, texture and creative techniques, this familiar material becomes something entirely different.
These pieces reveal a side of glass that often goes unnoticed in an industry focused on performance, precision and innovation. Beyond its structural and functional role, glass offers endless possibilities for artistic expression, combining transparency, light and colour in unexpected ways.
At glasstec, these smaller details offer a different perspective on a material that continues to inspire industries far beyond construction. 
Because glass is not only about what we build with it, but also what we can create from it.
