Harrisons were happy to take up the challenge when Gill Greaves, Art and Design Officer for York Hospital, requested product suggestions for the modernisation of the hospital chapel.

The brief of the project was to refresh the design of the chapel, moving away from the tired and traditional feel of the room and creating a more welcoming and relaxing atmosphere for quiet reflection and spiritual activities. The design challenge was to provide two areas one for Christian worship as well as a space for use by people of all faiths.

Improvements included new chapel furniture and seating, as well as more subtle ambient elements such as the LED colour wash lighting. Harrisons were approached for product recommendations to achieve the creative vision of frosted stained glass windows, making the room more private, whilst still allowing plenty of light in.

Harrisons were quick to respond, supplying samples of the window artwork printed on a number of alternative etched and frosted window vinyls, allowing the hospital's creative team to visualise the finished effect and select a suitable product.

The graphic design was created by Rebecca Stoner (www.rebeccastoner.co.uk), a specialist surface pattern designer and printed by Harrisons onto etched window vinyl using UV-stable solvent inks.

"We are extremely pleased with the final result, and the windows really complement the space, creating a gentle and colourful light within the room, and a bright decorative effect on the outside of the building. We found the Harrisons team attentive to our needs and I look forward to working with them on future projects."
