Sala 1960 - Folke Heybroek

Sala 1960

For this architectural gem of an 18th century graveyard chapel, Folke was commissioned to design a bold “Christ in Majesty” stained glass altar window to uplift the mourners.

The photographs show Folke’s strong and daring glass and steel silhouette artwork viewed, as it was designed, to be seen from inside.
