July 8th is Be a Kid Again Day!
This lighthearted observance encourages individuals of all ages to embrace creativity, curiosity, and the joy of self-expression. Every Be a Kid Again Day on July 8, people are reminded to pause, reflect on their favorite childhood memories, and reconnect with the carefree spirit of youth. It’s a day dedicated to stepping away from daily responsibilities and rediscovering the simple joys of play, imagination, and wonder—without the pressure of deadlines or to-do lists.
GGI Max™ glass markerboards provide an ideal outlet for that playful energy—whether used at home for artistic fun or in the office to brainstorm, sketch, and explore new ideas. Sleek, durable, and endlessly writable, Max™ invites users to think visually and interact creatively with their space.
Artistic expression supports wellness by reducing stress, promoting mindfulness, and enhancing mental clarity. In business environments, it fosters collaboration, encourages innovation, and helps teams communicate more effectively through visual thinking.
So go ahead—pick up a marker, draw outside the lines, and rediscover the power of creativity.

A Contemporary Touch to a Timeless Table
Interior designers seem to agree on one thing: every room needs a touch of black. This custom glass tabletop brings that principle to life—modernizing a classic wood table with a sleek, durable surface.
Crafted from GGI’s Pearl® Tinted Satin Etched Glass and back-painted for full opacity, the result is Alien Black Back-Painted Satin Etched Glass. The pearl-like soft matte finish finish resists fingerprints and scratches while eliminating glare, making it ideal for everyday use without sacrificing style.
Functional. Elegant. Easy to maintain. This design detail proves that even small touches can transform a space.
Why it works:
Pearl-like soft matte finish softens the look and feel
Easy-to-clean, low-maintenance surface
Sleek black aesthetic enhances the surrounding design
Fully customizable color and substrate options available
Back-painted glass like this combines performance, hygiene, and design flexibility, making it ideal for tabletops, cabinetry, and wall cladding.
