Louis Comfort Tiff any
T e 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 f eld
was Louis Comfort Tif any who also developed lighting products
featuring stained and art glass at his famous New York studios.
Tif any 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 Tif any Studios in 1879. At its peak, the
then famous and highly successful company employed more than 300
artisans. Tif any original objects are still highly regarded and collected
all over the world.
