The Neo-Renaissance chapel interior was expanded following a historicist approach, interpreting the original architectural division, materials, and forms to seamlessly integrate the new furnishings.

The oak wainscoting and furniture feature top cornices with profile-milled arches, mirrored on the chairs and altar. Key decorative motifs include the rod-row ornamentations and columns with slanted, gilded fluting. Custom liturgical pieces designed for the space include a tabernacle table, an ambo, and a prie-dieu.

The new six-stop organ case matches this style. Developed with the organ builder, its three-tower layout houses both the manual and the foot-pedal in the central section. The case incorporates the signature cornices, columns, and rod-row elements, while its laser-cut grilles replicate the fretwork of the chapel’s holy water font. The legs of the organ bench are turned to match the profile of the pews.

We crafted the case from oak, making the column fluting and the rod-row gilded. These new sacred pieces blend harmoniously into the historical interior.
