Palazzo Riyadh.
King of Shades Blue
A palace's light made tangible.
Commissioned through a Riyadh gallery for a royal household who chose to remain anonymous, this Ca' Rezzonico is among the most complex single pieces our atelier has ever produced. The client requested a work of discretion and absolute ambition.
The structure draws on several of Murano's most demanding techniques, combined into a single object that shifts character with every light source.
Thirty years of fire, three months of acquamarine.
Every detail was studied. Every technique deliberate. The chandelier draws on a range of Murano's most demanding traditions layered, combined, and resolved into a single coherent object.
The graduated flowers were executed in reticello, each petal built from canes of different colours fused and stretched until the transition between shades became seamless. There is no shortcut to this. Reticello is one of the most refined techniques in Murano glassmaking. It involves embedding a fine network of crisscrossed threads typically white or colored within the glass itself, creating a delicate net-like pattern suspended between two layers of crystal-clear glass.
The process demands extraordinary precision: thin glass rods are first twisted, then arranged, fused, and blown by master glassblowers in a carefully choreographed sequence. No two pieces are ever identical.
Born in 16th-century Venice, Reticello remains a symbol of Murano's unmatched craftsmanship.
Structural drawings produced by us. Load calculations for the ceiling mount and coordination with the our architect.
All crystal elements blown in San Bartolomeo in Galdo with Murano Glass by Ahmed (our Maestro Vetraio) and his team. The blue glass rosettes were pulled and hand-formed in our cane workshop dept.
Stainless steel armature forged in our atelier and hand-gilded using traditional leaf technique. Assembly conducted over five days on-site.
Final photographs and a dimensional report sent to the client before shipment. The piece ships with a full certificate of authenticity, traceable to every maker and every technique used in its production.
Every element in this chandelier reflects the work of a dedicated team, shaped over three months of drawings, revisions, and fire. That is what Murano authenticity means to us, not just a certificate, but a responsibility.
Every chandelier begins with a
conversation.
We work with private clients, architects, and interior designers to realise Murano glass pieces of any scale. Commissions open throughout the year.
