The craftsmanship behind the lamps
The lamps are produced in small workshops on Murano, where experienced glass artisans work closely with our design team. Each lamp is hand-shaped through a careful process of blowing, forming, and cooling, where temperature and timing are crucial. The result is unique glass pieces with subtle variations that reflect the human craftsmanship behind every single item.
Each lamp is unique
The production itself begins with raw materials melted in furnaces at over 1,000 degrees, after which the hot glass mass is blown and shaped by hand. Using simple tools and precise movements, the characteristic forms and swirls that define the Vetri Murano series are created. Because each lamp is shaped manually, natural variations in pattern and form occur, making each lamp a unique piece of glasswork. Each lamp undergoes a slow cooling process that prevents stresses in the glass and ensures durability. It is a craft that requires both technical skill and a keen eye for detail—and one that only a few masters fully master today.
Murano: The Island of Glass and Tradition
Murano is a small island in the Venetian lagoon, world-renowned for its rich glassmaking tradition. Since the 13th century, the island’s workshops have been home to some of the world’s most respected glass artisans. Here, history, culture and craftsmanship blend in the narrow streets and canals, where generations have passed down their knowledge and techniques with deep respect for tradition.
