Custom Windows, Space Expansion, Remembering Monir Shahroudy Farmanfarmaian & More!

Art in the Shop: Radiant Reflections – Custom Clear Windows
Our team recently completed a custom clear stained-glass window project for a client’s kitchen remodel. With intricate lace patterns in Mosaico glass, and the use of Oceanside clear and Kokomo Seedy, these windows seamlessly blend elegance and timeless beauty.

Artist in the World: Monir Shahroudy Farmanfarmaian
Monir Shahroudy Farmanfarmaian’s passing in 2019 left a lasting legacy in contemporary Iranian art. Known for her iconic mirror mosaic sculptures and glass paintings, her work combines traditional Islamic geometric motifs with modern expressionism, marking a fusion of cultures that transcends borders. Her legacy continues to inspire future generations.
