a-prismatic Glass for the restoration of Gemeentemuseum Den Haag, the Municipal Museum in the Hague
a-prismatic glass is designed to direct natural light in any desired direction. this was used in Gemeentemuseum Den Haag in the ceiling and in lamps. unfortunately all the original glass in the museum was shattered during the Second World War.
shards had been saved and when the museum was to be restored, the restoration team looked all over the world for a replacement and could not find an old stock anywhere, and nobody knew anything about this special glass and its unique properties. the director of the Leerdam glass factory at the time told the restoration team to ask Vrij Glas to reproduce the a-prismatic glass for the museum. today all lamps, throughout the entire museum, which used to have a-prismatic glass, have new glass made by Vrij Glas.
the Vrij Glas foundation has previously restored glass in architecture and manufactured special glasses and colours for artists, designers and architects.
