How can I create something that uses this idea of multiple layers and glazes that the Renaissance painter used?

It made him all the more eager to have his work seen and felt. Then came the open call for the former church and present-day arts venue in Brussels. It had a very specific requirement: The glass had to be colorless and completely transparent. This, too, presented a challenge. \u201cBecause my practice is such an exploration of color and perception and light,&#8221; he says, explaining his thought process, &#8220;how can I kind of cheat the system or be cheeky a little bit in order to produce glass that is colorless but that transmits color?\u201d<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_607102\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-607102 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/design-milk.com\/images\/2026\/07\/Design-Milk-Boondael-Chapel-by-Franziska-Krieck_S7A240901-800x1200.jpg\" alt=\"A large room with white brick walls, arched windows, and two square frames with translucent panels displaying rainbows, mounted in front of the windows.\" width=\"800\" height=\"1200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/design-milk.com\/images\/2026\/07\/Design-Milk-Boondael-Chapel-by-Franziska-Krieck_S7A240901-800x1200.jpg 800w, https:\/\/design-milk.com\/images\/2026\/07\/Design-Milk-Boondael-Chapel-by-Franziska-Krieck_S7A240901-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/design-milk.com\/images\/2026\/07\/Design-Milk-Boondael-Chapel-by-Franziska-Krieck_S7A240901-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/design-milk.com\/images\/2026\/07\/Design-Milk-Boondael-Chapel-by-Franziska-Krieck_S7A240901.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photography by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.franziskakrieck.com\/\">Franziska Krieck<\/a>.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>In Gothic churches, light was treated as a divine element. \u201cA church window is a really mystical thing,\u201d he says. While researching the adaptive reuse of old churches in Belgium, Soderberg Mills came across chapels along the coast of the North Sea where bell towers doubled as lighthouses. It prompted him to reference Belgian architecture in an interesting way; he sought to create something \u201cmythical or magical realist\u201d while also honoring the now-secular use of the church building.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_607103\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-607103 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/design-milk.com\/images\/2026\/07\/Design-Milk-Boondael-Chapel-by-Franziska-Krieck_S7A223701-800x1200.jpg\" alt=\"Arched window with circular divided glass; upper part is clear showing green trees outside, lower part is frosted blue, set in a white brick wall.\" width=\"800\" height=\"1200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/design-milk.com\/images\/2026\/07\/Design-Milk-Boondael-Chapel-by-Franziska-Krieck_S7A223701-800x1200.jpg 800w, https:\/\/design-milk.com\/images\/2026\/07\/Design-Milk-Boondael-Chapel-by-Franziska-Krieck_S7A223701-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/design-milk.com\/images\/2026\/07\/Design-Milk-Boondael-Chapel-by-Franziska-Krieck_S7A223701-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/design-milk.com\/images\/2026\/07\/Design-Milk-Boondael-Chapel-by-Franziska-Krieck_S7A223701.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photography by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.franziskakrieck.com\/\">Franziska Krieck<\/a>.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Whatever he envisioned, he needed to collaborate with Belgian fabricators\u2014another criterion of the open call.

The laboratory glass is especially important\u2014it takes the shape of long borosilicate tubes, or canes, that are star-shaped in cross-section. Together, they form a ribbed surface.
