ABOUT KROMA
Welcome to Kroma
We create exquisite dichroic glass art—combining cutting-edge technology with exceptional craftsmanship. Our story began with Murray Schwartz, an aerospace engineer whose fascination with dichroic glass led to the founding of Kroma, Inc. in the 1970s.
A Visionary Material
Originally developed by NASA for aerospace applications, dichroic glass has the unique ability to change color based on light and viewing angle. This high-tech material was designed to protect instruments in space, but Murray saw its artistic potential.
Captivated by its color-shifting properties, he made the bold decision to leave the aerospace industry and pursue this material's creative possibilities.
Our Craftsmanship
Since then, we’ve been at the forefront of creating light-shifting glass art. Using a meticulous process, we layer metal oxides onto glass—each layer applied with precision to create mesmerizing patterns of reflection and transmission.
Our product range includes:
-
Stained Glass Windows
-
Jewelry
-
Mobiles & Lamps
-
Decorative Pieces
-
Raw Glass
Each piece we create is a testament to Murray’s vision, his dedication to craftsmanship, and his belief in the beauty of dichroic glass.
Legacy of Innovation
From the early days in Venice, California, to our continued success today, Murray’s legacy of blending science and art remains at the heart of everything we do. Our pieces have attracted a loyal following of art collectors and design enthusiasts around the world, all captivated by the magic of dichroic glass.
