Give a unique Murano lamp as a gift for a very special occasion
We offer our take on why a Murano lamp can be the perfect gift. Do you have an upcoming occasion where the present should be something truly special? It could be for a wedding or birthday — read on.
Find the perfect Murano lamp as a gift
Are you attending a wedding, christening, or another major milestone where the gift should be exceptional? We have no doubt: a Murano lamp makes a memorable gift that can bring joy for many years. A vintage Murano lamp in particular shows that you have carefully chosen your present.
Murano lamps combine functionality with craftsmanship and design history. If you choose a lamp as a gift, it will always serve a practical purpose in addition to being beautiful. We often need far more lamps than we expect — for the living room, bedroom, kitchen, and often several in each room. Alongside the practical need, we want unique homes, and here it’s clear that a Murano lamp is more than just a lamp. All are mouth-blown, which makes each lamp unique in shape and ensures you will never find an exact duplicate. In that way, the gift you give is always unique itself.
A wedding is a big day, as is a christening and a birthday — especially milestone birthdays. We therefore believe the gift may be something special, something remembered on a memorable day. The question is, which one should you choose?
Considerations when choosing a Murano lamp
Think about who you’re giving the lamp to. Should it be large or small? Should it be eye-catching? Should it be a table lamp, pendant, or wall lamp?
If the Murano lamp can be large, consider a pendant to hang over the dining table or in the bedroom. It could be a white pendant with swirl, or a pendant with a filigrana pattern. Murano lamps with swirl are generally popular because they are pleasing to the eye and showcase the fine craftsmanship and skill of the Italian glassblowers. A filigrana lamp is made in clear glass with distinct rings, often white. It’s incredibly beautiful when lit, or when sunlight shines through the glass and the pattern spreads across the ceiling. These are two elegant lamps that no one will ever tire of. We can promise that. They are classic and easy to style in a modern, Nordic home.
A small table lamp is another great gift option. It could be the popular Murano mushroom, which comes in several sizes — the small size easily fits on a windowsill, dresser, or bedside table. It blends effortlessly into any home and is perhaps especially popular in white for that reason. It’s simple and refined.
If the recipient appreciates color and you want something extra, go for one of the rarer Murano lamps. By rare we often mean vintage Murano lamps in unique colors and uncommon shapes. This could be a vivid pink or turquoise-blue table lamp. You might be lucky to find a mushroom table lamp in those colors, and if you’re very lucky, a multicolored one — a combination of hues. Vintage is what makes it more unique, because you can’t simply order more of them.
