Witness a Fantastic Chihuly Glass Sculpture Installation


Ever wonder what goes into a design that includes a major — and highly breakable — artwork? Here’s your chance to find out

The artist and sculptor Dale Chihuly is renowned for creating exuberant works of glass art from the very small to the huge. His work is in museums, botanical gardens, corporate buildings, luxury hotels and even homes around the world.

You might wonder how on earth the whole notion of incorporating such a piece happens, especially in a home. In the case of the home here, as in many of the best bits of design, it was an architect and a homeowner just chatting away, talking about the project. One thing led to another, and all of a sudden, the architect said, “Let’s talk to Chihuly.” The owner grabbed the idea, and off they went.

See how the combination of an exceptional artist, a creative architect and an adventurous owner (with an extra half million dollars or so in the budget) can lead to something truly awesome.
