Atelier Toporkoff

Atelier Toporkoff is a Paris studio dedicated to the creation and production of contemporary stained glass, founded by Sophie Toporkoff. She came to it after ten years as creative director at Hermès and keeps drawing at the centre of the work, which runs from pop reinterpretations of Cistercian interlacing to a graphic bestiary and neo-medieval floral visions.

The studio makes its own designs and collaborates with designers, artists and architects from outside the stained glass tradition, combining the skills inherited from French verrerie with techniques developed in house. Commissions include Contrepoint for the Musée Bourdelle, private houses in Paris and New York, the Hôtel des Peintres and Palazzo Donà Giovanelli in Venice, alongside lighting editions shown at Maison&Objet.
