Display cases and vitrines: glass that shows, protects and conceals on command

Anyone designing fit-outs for museums, jewellers or premium retail knows a display case has to do more than hold a piece: it has to present it, protect it and — when needed — take it out of sight. Switchable glass turns the surface of a vitrine into an active element — clear on command, instantly opaque — that joiners, glaziers and designers can build into bespoke projects.

Glass that reveals or conceals on command

One command takes the glass from clear to opaque in an instant — no panels, covers or drapes to add. For a brand it’s a storytelling device: the piece appears when it should impress and disappears when the display rests. The case itself becomes part of the brand experience, not just a container.

Where it makes sense

Museums and private collections, where a piece must be protected and staged. Jewellers, who want the merchandise out of sight at closing without emptying the windows. Showrooms, boutiques and premium retail, plus temporary set-ups for events and product launches. Wherever a display has to do more than show.

Protecting what you display

The light that shows a piece off is also the light that damages it. The glass filters ultraviolet rays, the main cause of fading in paintings, textiles, paper and light-sensitive goods. What you display stays protected even under intense lighting, day after day.

When you need to conceal, not veil

Sometimes diffuse opacity isn’t enough — you need to take the contents out of sight entirely. A display that has to hide its pieces at closing time — the jeweller shutting up, a collection put to rest — needs a surface that truly closes, not a light veil. The black film does exactly that, and it’s an aesthetic tool too: on command the case resolves into an even, dark surface, and just as easily clears again — with a faint smoked tint — when the piece should be seen. The right technology depends on the effect you want: a diffuse, light veil, or dark concealment.

Orchestrating multiple cases, across sites

A single case works perfectly on its own, with a switch. But anyone fitting out a showroom, a boutique or a chain is managing dozens of surfaces — and that’s where control matters. With B-LOGIC you can drive each case individually or in groups, sync a whole room and — for multi-site operators — manage installations remotely from a single point. A single pane already works on its own: orchestration is the step up — the edge that turns a case into a system, and what a glass-only supplier can’t give you.
