Great article and pictorial from Architectural Digest sharing some of the beauty that stained glass has to offer -- but with a twist. Usually when we think of stained glass we envision churches or Victorian-era motifs, however all the applications shown here are quite modern and abstract.
As you can see from the article, contemporary spaces can benefit from the addition of art glass, whether to create privacy, obstruct an unattractive view, or add new dimensions of light and color to the interior space. Unembellished, simple rooms can be transformed into colorful, light-filled sanctuaries with the addition of art glass. In commercial spaces art glass can help communicate and bolster your brand. Beyond the confines of a frame or casement, the glass can be designed to create moods or experiences. And as the article mentions, should you move you could always relocate the glass.
We recently experimented with a tessellation (pictured below) that would be gorgeous in a contemporary space whether transitional or fully modern. Imagine a larger scale application of this design and its colorful light pattern cast across a lobby, dining room, or bathroom suite. Or, similarly, a modern interpretation of sacred geometric patterns reminiscent of Islamic art. No matter the inspiration, the outcome is always stunning, even transcendent!
