Extreme Makeover: Church Edition

Medieval churches went over the top when it came to architecture and interior designs. The chapel ceilings, in particular, were an object of admiration. One popular church is the Sistine Chapel, painted by Micheal Angelo.

Today, new interior designs are taking over churches and they are more intricate than ever. Tomislav Topic and Thomas Granseuer, also known as the Quintessenz art duo, recently finished installing hanging fabrics at CARME, an art center located in Italy, in a former church in Brescia.

The duo has installed numerous designs in different locations, both indoors and outdoors. Their signature semi-transparent fabrics have not been installed in a church until now.

The piece was placed at the nave’s center and guests can spot the hanging fabric from different angles. Each perspective shows a new layer of colors and brings a shift in dimensions to the collection of hanging textiles.
