Six Partitions You Can See Through

Architectural glazing does more than serve as a decorative backdrop in contract interiors. It’s also used to divide spaces while delivering daylight to a building’s core and can even muffle sound—a plus in the brave new world of open workspaces. We scoured our files—err., inboxes—to find the latest products bringing natural wood grains, tangible texture, and geometric patterns into the light.
