Glass Inferno

A wall decoration made of individual tapered glass tubes in shades of red and orange

Location: West end of Brookfield Place, Bay and Wellington
Date photo taken: 15 July 2018

This wall of fire is the work of Canadian glass blower Jeff Burnette. It was commissioned by Ki, a high end Japanese restaurant, and it sits next to their entrance inside Brookfield Place. The piece is made up of over 400 individually blown and molded pieces of glass. In addition to larger pieces like this one, Burnette also makes stemware and what he calls Raygunz, colourful sci-fi inspired guns made from glass.
