Stained-glass windows have been in our DNA for over 75 years.

Atelier Mestdagh specialises in the creation, production, renovation and repurposing of stained-glass windows and stained-glass art.

Since 1947, tradition and innovation have gone hand in hand here. Atelier Mestdagh shares knowledge and craftsmanship with conviction and, through collabs, looks for ways to permanently innovate the craft.

The atelier was founded in 1947 by Albert Mestdagh and continued by his wife Yvonne Matthijs and then their son Luc Mestdagh and wife Ingrid Meyvaert.

Today, granddaughter Katrien Mestdagh leads the studio as the third generation. Stained-glass art and the colourful play of light created when the sun falls through the glass panes give a room character and soul.

The authentic atmosphere of intimacy and warmth is why, at Atelier Mestdagh, we move into the studio every day. Three generations later, the Mestdagh family keeps the stained-glass craft alive and kicking. We watch over the preservation of the knowledge and skill and translate it into contemporary applications. A story of the past, the present and the future.

‘Glass, colour and light, that’s all you need to create magic.’

Discover the incredible beauty of modern stained glass art.

At Atelier Mestdagh, the stained glass tradition is very much alive. And all thanks to traditional artisan know-how and innovative techniques. An old skill, new style. A unique eye-catcher in a contemporary setting.
