The centerpiece of the Chihuly Garden and Glass in Seattle, WA, is the glasshouse. Dale Chihuly dreamed of having a space like this to present a sculpture. His inspiration came from two favorite glass buildings, the Ste. Chapelle in Paris and the Crystal Palace in London. The intensely colorful fluted flowers which change hues from morning to night, he calls the Persians.
