Start with a style, then explore the patterns within it. Each one can be colored, resized and adapted for your home.
Sunrays, diamonds, roses and offset arches, alongside stars, circles and medallions.

A mark at the center
A round brand mark. Cracks begin at its edge.
A name with room to breathe
A generous rectangle for a sign above the bar.
A familiar silhouette
A dog looking away, with bubbles nestled around it.
A few stones in the current
Place a rock. Add another. Let the river find its course.
Sized, priced and made
by one studio.
Stained glass is usually commissioned by conversation: a consult, a wait, then a quote. Here every pattern is drawn to change size and priced by the square foot, and the studio that designs it also makes and delivers it.
01 / Sized to fit
Give the width and height of your opening. The pattern is redrawn for those dimensions, not stretched, so its proportions hold.
Open the configurator02 / Priced up front
Our formula is $250 per square foot of glass plus $10 for each piece of glass. Mounting hardware is priced separately, since it varies with where the piece is installed and its size. Try an estimate before you design.
Explore our pricing03 / Made and delivered
The studio that draws your pattern also makes the piece and delivers it. One point of contact from the first drawing to the finished glass.
For architects and designers
Find where it fits
in your space.
Explore wall pieces, dividers, lamps and window panels, then email the studio to discuss making and delivery. Doors, transoms and openings are built in, so the studio ships the panel and your contractor fits it. The same goes for bars and restaurants.
Ordered and shipped
Choose a size and email your request. We’ll confirm construction, price and delivery with you.
Installed with your contractor
The studio ships the finished panel. Your builder or designer handles the fit and installation, and we coordinate the details with them.
For bars and restaurants
The same patterns, sized for hospitality. Lamps and freestanding screens ship finished. Back-bar panels and booth dividers ship to your contractor to fit.

Glass pricing can be explored in the configurator. Installed pieces need a fit and engineering review; installation is priced separately by your contractor.
Parametric design
Patterns driven by math,
not AI.
Every pattern in the collection is parametric. Each one is a rule rather than a fixed drawing: rings spreading from a drop, water parting around a stone, a lattice of stars. Change the size or move a point and the rule draws the panel again, which is how one pattern can fit a lamp, a window or a wall.
Drew came to this way of working at Studio Echelman, where he worked with Autodesk on custom modeling software for Janet Echelman’s textile sculptures and with the MIT Media Lab on parametric design. The right tool gave the artist more room to explore form. Raines Works brings that approach to stained glass.
None of the patterns are AI-generated. Each line is derived mathematically from its rule, and the same rule gives the same line every time. AI helps create the illustrative room renderings and offers optional design feedback in the studio. The patterns themselves come from their rules.
Try it here. Move a drop or a stone, change the size, add a border, and watch the lines find their places.
Each pattern begins as a small program with its own parameters: how far apart the rings sit, how fast one color spreads, when to stop. We run it again and again, across hundreds of parameters, and look through the versions for the beautiful moments. Those are the ones we turn into patterns.
AlgorithmicA rule works out the whole panel at once from a few starting points. Ripples and Flowing lines are drawn this way: move one point and every line is redrawn.
EmergentA simple process plays out turn by turn, and no one draws the result. The Persian carpet grows this way. We choose the turn to keep, and the order things happened in stays readable in the glass.

Need a hand
with your design?
Bring a rough sketch, an almost-there configuration, or an idea you haven’t quite found the words for. We can step in and refine the composition, colors, and proportions with you.
Two different ways of seeing. A shared interest in helping your piece feel like yours.
Dante Baylor
For a piece with a story,
a character, a little more expression.
Dante is an illustrator, costume designer, and fashion designer with more than a decade of experience across these disciplines. His illustration portfolio spans expressive portraits, figurative compositions, fashion drawings, and theatrical imagery.
His illustration practice and tailoring for Alvin Ailey bring a feel for character, movement, color, and the way a material takes shape. Work with Dante to develop a more figurative or expressive piece, from a rough idea to a considered composition.

Drew Raines
For a pattern with a rhythm,
a system, a considered way to make it.
Drew is a UX Designer, Technologist and Maker, working across digital tools, physical objects, and the processes that connect them. Work with Drew on repeated forms, geometry, algorithmic compositions, and ways to make your idea buildable.
At Studio Echelman, Drew worked on public art projects at SFO, Dilworth Plaza, and the University of Oregon. His manufacturing experience includes Pratt & Whitney’s jet engine group. A graduate of IIT’s Institute of Design, founded as the New Bauhaus, he brings a human-centered design approach to tools and making.
