Anniversary of a very special project

THE DOME OF LIGHT CELEBRATES ITS TENTH ANNIVERSARY
In 2018, we can look back on the tenth anniversary of a project we are not only immensely proud of, but that has also greatly enhanced our expertise with the wealth of experience we have gained in our production process. What we are referring to is the Dome of Light, a monumental installation at a Taiwanese subway station, which was until recently still considered the world’s largest piece of contiguous leaded glazing. The work was created by the artist Narcissus Quagliata who was born in Rome in 1942.

RENÉ BLÄTTERMANN'S GLASS ARTWORK IN THE BAD KREUZNACH SYNAGOGUE
Sometimes it is worthwhile not just to look through a window but also to look into it. Because with glass art especially, the window becomes not only a visually imposing work of art but also a medium with which the artist reflects his feelings and tells his stories.

The history of Pomerania in the hands of restorers from Taunusstein

A few weeks ago, in the tiny village of Kenz near Barth (in the county of West Pomerania Rügen), Derix Glasstudios Taunusstein began their work on restoring the medieval stained glass windows of the former pilgrims' church of St. Mary. The glazing involves six windows from the year 1430, which represent the country's most significant and largest collection of glass paintings from the Middle Ages. This important restoration project by Derix Glasstudios Taunusstein has attracted a lot of media attention and has therefore been monitored by various media representatives.
