apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

thats beautiful.

Love it, Love it, LOVE IT!!!!!!!

on the fence on these. I wonder how they will wear over time, not to mention how fast they might go out of style. time will tell....

Holy crap that is ugly. It looks like some bad thick craft fair novice glass-artist glass. The whole kitchen is U-G-L-Y. The last one looks like someone photoshopped the bar from some swanky all white ice palace drinking spot onto a suburban mc mansion island.

The bottom material has potential if it were cut with clean edges and put on something really modern.

Seriously? I don't like it one bit.

"Generally speaking, kitchens have little room for art"?

If the first kitchens you've ever seen were these, that might be a fair guess. They're kind of boring and there's really no reason for it, but they are. Walls full of brown, dull, sleek, clean, yes? Artistic? In an eggs all in one basket sort of way.

If you kept up with a blog called Apartment Therapy, you might have said something else for an intro.

oh those are terrible

inspiration, indeed...as in what not use as a counter top.

Sorry, but, WOW, these are ugly.

This definitely looks like something you might see on MTV Cribs...right after you see the fridge full of Red Bull and Cristal. Sorry to say it but not tasteful in the least.

Don't get it.

yeah that's just fug.

No thank you for all that free form look and rough edges and waves. I would think chipping would be a real problem.

i actually dont mind the rougher edges but i think they're totally inconsistent with the style of those kitchens. there's a difference between design elements that are delightful surprises and ones that are just out of place IMO.

I agree with the "kitchens have little room for art" statement, but these counter tops are borderline hideous ... sorry :o(

Maybe my dislike is due to exactly what duckumu said about the counters being "totally inconsistent with the style of those kitchens"

I enjoy some of the variations in colors and textures, but I'm not a fan of the irregular edges - seems like they'd be a breakage/maintenance nightmare.

It's kind of hard for me to come to an informed opinion since those kitchens those counters = heretofore unimaginable ugliness. Egads. If those countertops were used in a modern, sleek kitchen with white cabinets and the like, they might look ok. But we'll never know because apparently the manufacturer thinks the best application is as a supplement to black granite and dark wood cabinets.

Uuuugleeeee

I'll add my opinion to the chorus that finds this hideous. It is disproportionate for the space and the edges look awful. I wouldn't even call it "art" as art is supposed to convey some sort of message. The only message here is 'don't do this to your kitchen.'

Oh, that is awful. It looks totally out of place in those kitchens.

Maybe in a trendy downtown bar or something.

looks like a mistake!

The top photo is feasible. However, in a kitchen where lots of cutting and moving things around; would not that glass be too susceptible to chipping, cracking etc.?

The free form edges don't work with the rest of the kitchen. I think that if they had cleaner looking edges it might work. I do like that white glass but not as a work top.

Wow. that'll be dated by next week.

Though firms like ThinkGlass say their tops are extremely durable and heat resistant, I personally prefer them as accent pieces. Using a single, well-coordinated glass piece can create a strong focal point.
