Stained Glass Door Panels

Traditionally, stained glass is made from small pieces of colored glass, held together by metal rods. During the creation, metallic salts are added to give it the distinctive color. These panes are arranged to form patterns where great detail can be achieved, making the style rather complex. When you hear about a stained glass studio, you might be expecting this kind of work. However, in the hills of Northern Michigan, my studio makes stained glass door panels with a different flair. Take a look at the artistic lead glass panels made by kühl doors and see what I mean.

Artistic Lead Glass Panels with Prairie School Influence

While traditional stained glass is beautiful, the principles by which I craft stained glass door panels are at odds with complexity. The artistic lead glass panels made by kühl doors are similar to the principles of the Prairie School, a 20th century decorative arts movement begun by Frank Lloyd Wright. The philosophy behind my work and all the stained glass door panels at kühl doors is similar to these ideals, which advocate simplicity of form, landscape based lines, natural materials, solid craftsmanship, and minimal adornment.

Stained Glass Door Panels - Midwestern and Classic

The stained glass door panels made by kühl doors are constructed using neutral colors, expressive of a Midwestern plain, the surface of a clear lake, or a twilight sky. These are aesthetics that affected my early development, learning in the studio of my father, Dieter Goldkühle, and form the foundation for most of the artistic lead glass panels that I create.

When compared to the look of traditional stained glass, the contemporary door panels I create are made up of larger sections of glass, organic shapes, and simpler patterns. The glass is hand-blown, and each step of stained glass door panel creation is performed by a master craftsmen. No part is manufactured or identical. This means your artistic lead glass panel will be a one-of-a-kind piece of functional art, to be treasured and enjoyed.
