Metz: Inside Saint Eucaire Church

February 12, 2008 – 1:15 am | Written by KiwiPulse

   

If you get a chance to visit the city of Metz in the northeast of France. You could visit the church of Saint-Eucaire which dated back from the twelfth century to the fifteenth century. This church is dedicated to the Bishop of Trier Eucaire III. The church of Saint-Eucaire was classified as a historical monument on Jan. 22, 1979. What makes this church special are the collections of custom crafted furniture used inside the church. The furniture is really beautiful with the rigorous design and silver colors. The metal and glass chairs seem perfectly blended into the environment. What do you think? Is this an appropriate interior design for the church?

The glass furniture should have been in my house.

They not only blend very well, they simply add to the visual appeal. Quite whether they are comfortable is another question,but I suppose that the people who sit on them are not looking for comfort.

I prefer rustic to modern anywhere & everywhere, personally.

Hi Kiwipulse,
It’s a very intricately carved altar in Gothic architecture, typical of the 12th to the 13th century. The stain glass windows are astonishing in their blend of colors.

I am not too comfortable with the glass furniture. To me, it doesn’t blend well as a material, although the design fits with the interior. Nice photos as usual.

By the way, you’re less than 13,000 shy of achieving one of your goals to make it to the top 100,000 bloggers. I hope you make it before this month’s over. Good Luck. Happy Valentines! –Durano, done!

The project is made for 2008! Not for the XII!
At each time its design method artistic. the Designers lengthily observed the texts liturgical, the history of architecture to do this work.
(Chapter 21 and 22 of the Apocalypse…)
The materials approach the writings and the concept east reflects. Thank you has Rock your world (very good blog !!!) to present the project!!! Signed the small French! ;) (sorry my english) Happy Valentines !!!

Really interesting.

Glass and aluminium give beautiful an aspect and recover the color of the interior of the church, the color gold. It is simple, light and beautiful.

It is a work of designers ! Superb.

Reminds me of the time when I went to Westminster Abbey. That was far more grand, though.
