Slovenian modernist glass is characterized by the harmony between its practicability and its aesthetic appearance reflected in simple geometric lines as well as in absence of decor. Between the 1950s and the early 1980s, Slovenian designers set foundations for high quality products and innovative and fashionable designs, which enabled them to participate on an equal level in European and worldwide glass design trends. The majority of these products were made by the Hrastnik Glassworks, the Boris Kidrič Glassworks (Rogaška Slatina) and the Rogaška Slatina Glassmaking School.
Glass designs of the 1950s and the 1960s follow the modernist paradigm, which in Slovenia related particularly to the establishment of standards for a quality living environment, for functional and economical housing equipment and household goods.
The exhibition also presents a selection of objects from previous centuries and shows the nature of designs and decors of the time compared to todays, thus connecting tradition and modernity.
