unbeknownst to most, the world is completely controlled by a single pipe smoking rabbit.

well, i think that rabbit blew his smoke right into the newest design trend. smoky glass has become the latest modern comeback. opting for a mysterious and intriguing sight, the use of smoky glass creates contrast between masculine and feminine features crafting an intimate feel. the throwback to the sultry time of the 70’s focuses on the use of a clear material with a translucent effect to provide exposure with a hidden quality, eluding to extreme sex appeal.

the key to creating a modern appearance is to draw on glass with a soft grey tints. previously, the trend was seen in tints of green and yellow, which often appeared as dirty rather than contemporary. additionally, featuring the glass in contrast to chrome or matte finishes, such as a stark white or flat black, the smoked glass piece is able to stand as a focal point of a room, attracting the attention of the viewer.

the trend is typically spotted in lighting accessories yet has recently been utilized in forms of lucite available in tables, chairs, door knobs, vases and even smoked mirrors. these dramatic accessories provide a smooth transition into fall by emphasizing deeper tones.

as someone who wishes she was born in the 70’s, i love the idea of anything associated making a comeback. i hope this trend continues on the rise and throws in a little “peace & love.”
