For architects & designers

Custom glass for architects and designers.

Glass work can begin with a room, a palette, or an idea. Share photographs of the space, approximate dimensions, and what you have in mind.

We’ll go over the design and materials, then agree on timing and price before the commission goes ahead.

What designers can expect

Who you’re working with
Caroline Abbey, glass artist. Laurel School; BFA in glass, Cleveland Institute of Art, 2026; Board Honorable Mention with Distinction at Student Independent Exhibition 80; further study at the Corning Museum of Glass. She designs each piece, blows the glass and fabricates the metal herself. More about Caroline.
Color matching and samples
Glass samples in the proposed colors, checked against your palette and finish schedule before anything is made.
Design sketches
Options for form, scale and grouping, drawn around your plans and site photos.
Lighting coordination
For custom chandeliers and lighting, metal structures are made in Caroline’s own metal shop, and hardwired pieces go through electrical safety listing with licensed specialists. Glass shades can also be made for a fixture you have already specified.
Flexible to your project
Size, color and finish adjust to your plans. Shipping and installation are arranged with you and your team.
Pricing and lead time
Lead time depends on the design, and price depends on the project. We work them out together, starting from what your client needs and what the piece has to do in the space, and put them in a statement of work before anything is made.
Residential and commercial
Homes, restaurants, hotels, offices and shops, anywhere in the United States, from a studio in Chagrin Falls, near Cleveland.
