Pulp Studio Mourns Passing of CEO and Founder, Bernard Lax

It is with great sadness that the Pulp Studio family announces the untimely passing of Bernard Lax. As the founder, owner and Chief Executive Officer of Pulp Studio, this is a great loss to all of us. An icon in the industry, Bernard was a pioneer who paved the way for change in many aspects of the glass industry. Beginning in 1996, growing to the premier fabricator Pulp Studio is today, Bernard was never shy about challenging the norms, pushing the envelope and fighting for improvement at Pulp Studio and in our industry. He was liked and respected by so many and will be sorely missed.

Bernard instilled his DNA in Pulp Studio’s culture and is just part of the legacy that will continue with his passing. Although unexpected, the Pulp Team will maintain continuity with cutting edge products, unprecedented quality and the highest levels of service. They will continue, unfortunately sooner than planned, with the transition plan put in place several years ago. Bernard is survived by his wife, Lynda (President and co-owner) and his son Taylor.

About Pulp Studio

Pulp Studio has been designing and manufacturing technically advanced decorative glass for commercial markets since its inception in 1996. Pulp Studio passionately advocates for the creative uses of glass as a building element and the brand’s defining mission from the beginning was to fill the void in the market for innovative uses of glass in interior and façade projects. Pulp Studio’s technique combines technical prowess with design sensibility; creating products that reside at the intersection of fashion and function.

Pulp Studio employs craftspeople, artists, scientists and inventors who view working with glass as an artistic endeavor – their medium being glass. The company’s capabilities include bending, hand-color coating, laser etching, glass carving, screen print imaging, drilling and notching, and a patented system for uniformly illuminating panels using high-intensity LEDs. Every project is another opportunity for Pulp Studio to further enrich the idea of ‘custom’ by delivering products that are superior in design and functionality. One of the company’s insulated glass products, Ombra™ achieves a solar heat gain coefficient superior to that of other insulated glass units, dramatically reducing climate control requirements and providing significant energy savings over the life of a building.

Working in collaboration with architects and design studios, Pulp Studio’s products have been used in numerous high-profile projects including the Seattle Space Needle, the Aquarium of the Pacific in Long Beach, California, the Wilshire Grand in downtown Los Angeles and the Gores Group Headquarters in Beverly Hills, California.
