Elevate Worship with Expert Liturgical Design Services

We maintain the philosophy that great work results from close collaboration among the client, designer, and craftsperson, building upon the strengths of all three. We have always served the worship and liturgical needs of the church by way of the trades working together, integrating design into the fabric of the architectural setting, whether it be through lighting, liturgical furnishings, or stained glass. Our artisans have created liturgical solutions in virtually every known medium and within all budgets.

Liturgical

Our staff designers have always sought to serve communities’ worship and liturgical needs without adversely impacting architectural spaces and settings. We have been successful because we have always sought to clearly understand the community’s voice within the building’s vocabulary. From Victorian to Post-Modern, dominant styles and tastes change over time. Our designs seamlessly blend changes and updates into liturgical objects while tastefully answering the requirements of the space, the congregation, and the community. Through scholarship and experience, Rambusch designers have found answers through nearly every known medium and for all budgets: marble and granite, surface paint, fresco, secco and gilding, mosaic, stained glass, ceramics, fine woodwork, carved and cast ornament, repoussè, engraving, silver, gold, bronze, plastics, stainless steel, Monel metal, and aluminum.

Design Consultation

Through conferences, interviews, and discussions, we work with Parish committees, architects, and liturgical designers to help set definitions and scope for projects of any size. We understand that whether we’re working with a private chapel or one of the largest churches in the world, liturgical and financial goals must intersect and be mutually understood. Site visits, mockups, focus groups, and questionnaires are just some of the tools we use to find consensus, setting solid foundations for successful outcomes the remain faithful to the liturgy and the community. Bringing multi-generational experience to our work, we provide oversight and management services for liturgical installations and renovations. We act on behalf of our clients as representatives for long, multi-year efforts to ensure stylistic continuity. Our whole approach is built around reflecting your congregation’s particular tastes, personalities, and desires.

Liturgical Furnishings

Rambusch has long produced liturgical furnishings and objects for worship, designing and shaping materials into symbolic and functional forms. From initial design to completed objects, we weave the traditional thread of communicating ideas and iconographic richness through our work. Our artisans continue to create new liturgical furnishings and other central liturgical elements such as tabernacles, altars, ambos, fonts, candle stands, and processional crosses. All are unique to your tastes and needs; nothing is ever standard. We are often called upon to adapt our original works from decades past or reclaim and recreate complete furnishing sets from stonework, doors, frames, and other surviving pieces. Though our services, our clients have an exceptionally broad range of forms, materials, colors, textures, and lighting effects to work with. By working closely with them to narrow down and use these effectively, we help them create religious atmospheres that aid individuals in their personal and communal practice of worship.
