I never gave much thought to my father’s business until recently. Growing up immersed in it, I lacked an outsider’s perspective on how truly fascinating it is.

Today, let me introduce you to Khozem Glass Processing Works—affectionately named by my grandfather with the tagline, “The Glass People.” This name captures their expertise in the art of glass design.

You might wonder what art glass design entails. The world of glass is intricate, with various types blending and overlapping in ways that can be complex to understand. Here’s a brief overview:

1. Glass Art: Large, modern pieces made almost entirely of glass, often displayed in public spaces rather than private homes.
2. Studio Glass / Glass Sculptures: Artistic uses of glass to create sculptures or 3D artworks, designed to make a decorative statement.
3. Art Glass: Decorative yet functional glass items crafted to be aesthetically pleasing.

Khozem Glass Processing Works specializes in Art Glass and one-of-a-kind Glass Art pieces. They take pride in their quality and innovative designs.

Architects and interior designers may be familiar with various art glass techniques, such as stained glass, blown glass, kiln-formed glass, sandblasting, and copper foil. These techniques offer diverse options for enhancing spaces with colour, texture, and unique surface designs. For those less familiar, I invite you to explore images showcasing these techniques.

Stepping into Khozem Glass feels like entering a glass museum. The workshop, showroom, and office are filled with showpieces and samples—bent glass murals, blown glass sculptures, antique to modern mirrors, back-painted glass, etching, and more. Navigating the space can be an adventure of its own!

A key advantage for Khozem Glass is the proximity of their main office, showroom, and workshop areas. This setup allows for easy customisations and immediate purchases.

Some of MMT’s favourite items from Khozem Glass include:
–

• Decorative Mirrors: Venetian and antique mirrors in etched, cut-out, and bevelled designs.
• Tiffany Lamps: Handmade lamps using the copper foil method, inspired by Louis Comfort Tiffany’s design studio. Did you know the first Tiffany lamp was created in 1895?
• Glass Furniture: Including bent glass chairs, benches, coffee tables, and mirror-clad consoles, crafted by moulding and heating glass in a furnace.

Every piece reflects exceptional craftsmanship, and it’s a privilege to see this world through my father’s eyes.
