Sketch of the design of the dining room ceiling sculpture.

VFD Architects of Utrecht, The Netherlands, designed two large ceiling pieces for the atrium and the main dining room on Eurodam. The glass sculptures were created by Vincent Jansen for VFD in 2007.

“These sculptures are inspired by chandeliers,” said VFD’s Frans Dingemans. “Through the simplification of this form, the ceilings give an abstract and very intense experience.”


The atrium’s floral ceiling sculpture.

For the atrium Dingemans said he wanted a less abstract effect. “The ceiling will be filled with flowers,” he noted. “Transparent flower-shaped forms will form a cluster which comes down from the ceiling. Through this art decoration the atrium will become a harmonious and impressive space.”

  1. The atrium sculpture looks like it may have a mechanism behind it like the Vista Class.

    Will this one rotate as well?

    LOVE the chandeliers in the dining room. Very cool!

  4. Maybe it is the unfinished state of the piece butt o me it looks like any other Carnival dining room. I am continually disappointed in the fact while Holland America has its own look to a degree the floor plan/arrangements of the public areas remains consistent. At this point in cruise ship design it would be so nice to see a public room designed without the assistance of Joe Farcus neon. I love Holland America..the heritage and feel of the line can not be beat. I was pleasantly surprised to see original glass artwork from the old Statendam for sale recently. Imagine how disappointed I was to find out you guys weren’t interested in using it again!
