Le Château de Verre

What could be more beautiful than light passing through glass? Than light that reveals art? What could be purer and more enduring than creating with it?

Bio

The project was born out of the meeting of two artists. The energy emanating from this collaboration inspired them to found Le Château de Verre. The duo, of French and Belgian origin, is steeped in Romanticism and South American culture; the glass works, like our influences, are intended to permeate the world.

The studio's values are to remain true to the material; the mastery of this tradtional, precise, meditative craftsmanship; and the need to push the boundaries of what is possible and of ancestral techniques in our work. Every piece is unique, whether you infuse it with a touch of beauty or something truly magnificent; whether you choose to restore this age-old art or add a personal touch by reinterpreting it. Through the art of glass, it is the timeless that you touch.

Old 13th-century priory nestled in one of the valleys of the Saint Gobain Forest in Picardy (France).

It’s windy, there are ponds, and the place is teeming with birds. Green, blue, red. Red swifts between sky and earth. We need a lively movement within a calm space. We’ll add Some clouds are added as a lively movement within a calm space. The leadwork illustrates the movements of the air and the swifts’ flight paths. Each panel flows into the next and seems to pass through the stone tracery with fluidity.

Bois de Lune

Bois de Lunes, plays with shades of mineral green, parrot green, Stil Brown, Madder Brown, and cloudy white, while playing with the transparency of blown antique glass, Spectrum line glass, raw hammered Wissmach, and a mirrored wink.
