Palm Desert, California: What started out to be a mom-and-pop family business is growing to see recognition all across the nation. Sans Soucie Art Glass can be found in casinos, academic institutions, theatres, hospitals/ medical centers/ physicians’ offices, churches and synagogues, restaurants and various celebrity homes/attractions across the nation.

Growing up in the family business, Chauncey W. Gannett learned the skill and technique of art glass. With plans of becoming an engineer or architect someday, this future world renowned glass artist decided to do just this, but with a more creative approach. He started applying his natural talent and creative skill in art, engineering and design to the beautiful avenue of art glass.

Sans Soucie Art Glass work is present in both luxury homes and commercial projects with a diverse range of products such as door glass, all glass frameless doors and entries, tubs, entry and interior windows, shower enclosures, free standing dividers, booth and area dividers, custom signage, art glass murals, tables, floating bar tops, vanity tops, curtain walls, ceiling glass, sculptures, mirrors and more.
Recently recognized as a creative voice in Decorative Glass Magazine, Chauncey describes his company’s niche as “specializing in creating custom sand-carved art glass within a budget that other companies can’t always compete with. For example: with the Bank of America tower in Manhattan, the architects wanted specific custom texture for the lobby and elevator surrounds (nearly 400 panels of it) the glass was ½” laminated Starphire™ clear glass with one surface acid etched, then on top of the acid etching was a custom sandblast carved design in a tree bark effect pattern. We were able to do this from California, beating out companies in Europe and the east and west coast in the bidding process.”

Sans Soucie was founded in 1976. Thirty-three years later, Chauncey and his wife LeeAnn lead a team of highly creative and qualified glaziers and artisans that have earned a well established name and reputation around the world. With not only a level of quality, skill, precision and expertise that can only be gained through experience. The relationships fostered through superior quality of customer satisfaction is unmatchable.
