Granda commissioned to design a new altar and ambo for St. Petersburg

Granda designed the altar and ambo for the chapel of the Pushkin Institute in St. Petersburg. The option presented is an altar in wood to be varnished in a dark mahogany tone, with a base of fluted pilatras and capitals imilar to those of the reference altarpiece. At the base of the central body an interior space is reserved to house a reliquary protected by a safety glass.

Access to the reliquary is planned to be from the back, through a door concealed by the coffered ceiling.

A 3 cm green marble top has been suggested for its elegance and resistance, but also for the tradition of stone aras.
