    February 7, 2007 - Zeeland, Mich. - Incorporating a one-of-a-kind design featuring deeply beveled glass accented with faceted red and clear STRASS® Swarovski® Crystals and set-within rich patina caming, ODL's Ventura doorglass is sure to create a dramatic entry."This limited edition doorglass, designed by Harrison Design Studio exclusively for ODL® is truly unique," according to Laura Garza, decorative doorglass product manager, ODL, Inc., Zeeland, Mich.

    Details of the Ventura glass.

    "The intricate look and feel of the Ventura design enhances the ODL collection of decorative doorglass by providing an option unlike anything else in our collection," says Garza."Additionally, we incorporated STRASS Swarovski Crystals and made the sets limited in quantity to further augment this exceptional product."

    Ventura calls to mind a pride in craftsmanship, an attention to detail and a long-standing tradition of architectural adornment at the entry of your home, adds Garza.

    Each doorglass set, consisting of the doorglass, both sidelights and a half-round transom, is numbered by the designer, with only 50 sets available. The Ventura doorglass and sidelights are framed by ODL's new Architectural Elements? frame, which incorporates generous mouldings and patina medallions to coordinate with the design. The Ventura decorative doorglass set, featuring STRASS Swarovski Crystals, includes a 24 1/2 -inches by 65-inches doorglass unit; two 8-inches by 65-inches sidelights; and a 66?-inches by 33 1/4-inches half-round transom.

    "This design was inspired by a reverence for details of the past - the intricacy of handcrafted quilts, the sparkle of jewels, the artisanship of an antique iron grate - and a desire to reprise that interest in detail and craft at the entryway of today's home," says Nickole Harrison, Harrison Design Studio, Holland, Mich.

    As with all ODL doorglass, each system comes with a 20-year warranty and can be used in entry doors to meet ENERGY STAR® standards.
