LOUIS COMFORT TIFFANY
The use of stained glass has been around and admired for
more than a 1000 years, where it was most commonly used
on cathedrals and churches. However, one of the most
famous designers in this field was Louis Comfort Tiffany who
also developed lighting products featuring stained and art
glass at his famous New York studios.
Tiffany himself had originally trained as an artist and later
learnt the craft of glassmaking while working at several
glasshouses in the Brooklyn area. After perfecting some
of his own techniques for stained glass by making his own
opalescent glass utilising the copper foil technique, he
founded Tiffany Studios in 1879. At its peak, the then famous
and highly successful company employed more than 300
artisans. Tiffany original objects are still highly regarded and
collected all over the world.
