The Story of TDesign1973

TDesign1973 is a wall art brand dedicated to sharing timeless mosaic and stained glass wall art based on the original artworks of our late father. 

​​

Growing up, we were surrounded by his handcrafted creations. Our father was a people person, a wise and funny man who always had a joke or a story ready to tell. At the same time, he loved his quiet time, and he found it in creating. Art was never how he made a living, yet he gave it every free moment he had. He began with landscapes and went on to bend iron wire into figures from the Greek myths. Then he discovered glass, and it became his whole world: stained glass, mosaic, painting on glass. At home he built model ships by hand, down to the smallest sailor on deck.

​

He lived facing the sea, and it was part of every day of his life. He watched it from his balcony, and on weekends he often went sailing with his friends. Everything he loved found its way into his work: the sea and its ships, the animals and birds, the butterflies, the gardens, and the old myths that had stayed with him since those first wire figures. ​We always knew how much he loved what he made, and how much the small details mattered to him: the precision, the intention behind every line. What we did not know was how much research stood behind it all. Only after he passed away, when we cleared the drawers of his workroom, did we find the pages of research he had kept for each piece. We had no idea.

​

We have gathered all of his work, and through TDesign1973 we are bringing it back into the light, onto walls where it can be lived with every day.

 

His lifelong connection to the ocean, sailing, ships, and natural landscapes shaped a vibrant artistic world filled with color, depth, and movement...
