Holophane glass is a special type of clear, moulded glass originally patented in the USA in 1896. The term can be translated from Greek as ‘to appear entirely luminous’, which provides a hint to its preferred use for the production of illuminating appliances. The old-established tradition of making Holophane glass by means of pressure moulding is being carried into the future by the French company Holophane SAS, which employs the highly engineered glass for advanced LED and laser automotive lighting and several other high-profile applications.
