Gemological Institute of America

Custom blue translucent and etched laminated glass office fronts by McGrory Glass for the GIA California campus. Designed by Ted Moudis. Inspired by gemstone facets.

Overview

A sophisticated educational and corporate environment for the Gemological Institute of America (GIA) in California. Designed by Ted Moudis, the interior features custom blue decorative laminated translucent glass and decorative etched laminated glass fabricated by McGrory Glass. Inspired by the angular, multi-faceted forms of gemstones, these glass office fronts and decorative etched laminated glass walls provide a unified aesthetic that balances a warm, muted color palette with high-clarity daylighting. This project highlights the exacting color matching and fabrication precision required for world-class branding and institutional design.
