As the name suggests, Houdini Glass by Bendheim has illusory qualities: the low-iron clear material lets in ample daylight, but its micro-ribbed texture on one side obscures objects and people behind it. The non-laminated, fully recyclable glass not only meets privacy and lighting needs, but it can also be mirror-backed and colored for decorative effects.
Bendheims Houdini glass is a simple but beautiful way of creating separation. The panels maintain privacy while allowing light through, and the blurred view of activity can enliven what might otherwise be a standard, dull partition or divider. David Haakenson full caption
