Today we like: glass

Japanese designer Tokujin Yoshioka has just unveiled a glass kitchen and created a glass wardrobe earlier this year, but he's not the only one who has been pushing the boundaries of the transparent material.

In August, a team from MIT's MediaLab unveiled a technique for 3D-printing molten glass (pictured), and a team of students used smartphone glass to build a lightweight pavilion, while Patricia Urquiola and Nendo were among the designers who revealed glass furniture during this year's Milan design week.
