Stained Glass - Modern Day

Chapel the Assumption
This parisian chapel was renovated by 3box French Architects featuring furniture designed by John Doe. The Chapel of the Assumption was originally completed in 1961 by French architect Noel Le Maresquire (a disciple of Le Corbusier). It features a floor-to-ceiling stained glass wall and a swooping ceiling. Since the chapel has been renovated and completed in 2010, I am interested to see how the traditional stained glass wall looks in its surroundings of modern architecture and furniture.

The simplicity of the design in every detail of the interior, draws the eye to the stained glass wall, making it a key focal point in the chapel.

The stained glass is complements the chapel as a light source. It does not let people look inside the chapel, nor does it allow people to look outside of the chapel but it lets sufficient lighting through to make the chapel bright and subtly lit.
