Nieuw Amsterdam : Engraved glass panels

Vestibule and A Deck Foyer: Elevator shafts are embellished in a new and exciting manner with panels of engraved glass created by Andreas D. Copier in collaboration with Jaap Gidding. Softly diffused with turquoise blue light, the various undersea motifs are invested with a ethereal quality. Giving them a mysterious third dimensional yet transparent consistency. The chore of riding in an elevator becomes an adventure. Treatment of the stairways is entirely novel. They are paneled in sheets of polished brass and carpeted in cobalt blue, with handrails of stainless steel and bronze.
