The waste silica is compacted and heated to fuse the material into highly porous bricks that are then cut to size.

A ‘nanomaterial’, quantum dots, that harvest sunlight for electricity without sacrificing aesthetics. These advanced materials are based on benign elements like copper, zinc, and sulfur, as opposed to the more commonly known toxic ones made from cadmium, lead, or phosphorus. They have low-self-absorption and high-efficiency near-infrared emission, which enable a solar window product.

A decorative glass collection with a crackled burned-wood texture inspired by the ancient Japanese technique that is typically used for preserving construction timber by charring its surface. This ancient technique uses charring wood as a means of preserving it without the need of additional painting or sealing, an aspect leading to the current revival of this technique in eco-friendly architecture.
