Light held
inside matter
Natural mica, layered within architectural glass, creates bespoke panels whose color and mineral luster shift with the light
Every sheet is composed by hand, giving architecture a surface that is luminous, irregular, and never identical
Mica transforms light
InterMica is laminated architectural glass made by sealing thin layers of natural mica between sheets of glazing or mirrored surfaces
The mineral catches, bends, and releases light. Its translucence and shifting luster make every panel feel part gemstone, part atmosphere
Developed through a patent-pending process where applicable
Light becomes structure
InterMica moves between architecture, furniture, and lighting while remaining unmistakably material
A mineral surface at architectural scale
Doors, partitions, walls, façades, ceilings, and vitrines can be developed around the mineral’s natural variation
The glass can be transparent, mirrored, colored, illuminated, or fabricated into shaped panels
From architecture to object
The material can be tuned to the scale of a room, a surface, or a single source of light
The material can move from doors, partitions, walls, façades, ceilings, and vitrines to tables, mirrors, panels, pendants, sconces, lanterns, and sculptural light
The mineral becomes the diffuser
When illuminated, the mica reads in layers. Flecks sharpen, larger cleaves glow, and the surrounding glass carries the light beyond the source
Built to specification
InterMica can be developed with fabricators, architects, designers, and artists for a specific application

No two panels behave alike
Natural variation is part of the material. Color, texture, inclusions, and the distribution of mica shift from panel to panel
