54 Panneau De Vitrail Rétro-Éclairé Creation of furniture and decorative objects are now an integral part of Atelier SIMON MARQ. Their collaborations with artists and designers bring exceptional and traditional savoir faire to contemporary creations. As a result of the collaboration with painter and artist, Françous Rouan, this backlit stained glass panel is an illustration of the many possibilities this technique offers. With a light source integrated into the metal frame, the stained glass is liberated from the constraint of light, transforming it into an integral decorative piece. The dimensions of the frame and stained glass, patterns and colours of the composition, intensity of the light and backlit stained glass panel all give free rein to the imagination and desires. The Atelier SIMON MARQ is delighted to take on any request, offering its master glassmaker’s expertise to create custom-made decorative pieces for clients. www.fort-royal.com | www.ateliersimonmarq.com
