Using natural materials in your home
The artistry of Murano glass
Murano glass is a striking material that adds a layer of elegance and craftsmanship to any home. Originating from the small island of Murano near Venice, Italy, this glass has a rich history dating back to 1291. What sets Murano glass apart is the intricate process involved in its creation.
Unlike ordinary glass, Murano glass is made using a thousand-year-old glassblowing technique that has been perfected over hundreds of years. To give the glass its vibrant colors and unique designs, artisans heat a mixture of silica, soda, lime, and potassium in a special furnace until it reaches a molten state. For example, copper creates a shimmering appearance, cobalt results in rich blues, and manganese adds a rich violet hue.
Each piece of Murano glass is a testament to the skill and creativity of the artisans, simultaneously making it a decorative item and a work of art that adds a touch of luxury to your home.
