Inspiration can be found all around us...
Our inspiration, found in an Italian Farmacia.The play of light is fantastical in Italy, bouncing off the golden hills and ancient stone walls, glinting back from the sea and canals, trying to awaken a sleeping beauty that lies within.
Things appear the way they are lit, and lighting can arguably be one of the most important aspects of design.
Without light, you can't see a thing!
Great lighting shows off the details, sets a mood, gives story to the atmosphere. This romance is the inspiration for our Italian hand-blown Murano glass lights, a centuries old practice, where the secrets of the craft were vehemently protected.
The patina of each piece carefully replicates that of an Etruscan excavated glass object, giving a new creation the personality of one that has existed for ages.
Glass fragments awaiting their rebirth.
The master glass artisan shapes and perfects the form by rolling the still pliable glass onto a slab.
Back into the fire, the glass looks like molten gold.
The form becomes revealed.
Attention to detail, buffing the raw glass edge to a smooth finish.
Precious cargo awaiting packaging and the long trip here.
Our Murano glass lights...Only a few of the possibilities!
