Glass begins as pure heat
At 1200°C, raw silica dissolves into something luminous and alive. What happens in the next ninety seconds determines everything.
External Temperature
The external temperature of the ovens can hit 200° Celsius and high ceiling are needed to work with the heat of the summer
Oven Temperature
Our ovens run 24/7 with a temperature range that varies from 1000° to 1200° Celsius
Arm protection
Our glass masters uses arm protection in order to withstand the heat coming from the oven
Glassblowing techniques.
From layered color to cane work. Murano techniques shaped in fire.
Sommerso
Cased layers (color over clear glass) fused and blown as a single volume. Soft edges, a suspended color effect, and pronounced optical depth. It requires precise control of viscosity and working temperatures.
Filigrana
Aligned glass canes fused into a sheet, then rolled up and blown: parallel stripes or diamond reticello with microbubbles. Graphic elegance, steady rhythm, and utmost rotational precision.
Murrine
Cross-sections of glass canes that contain intricate motifs like flowers, stars, or figurative designs. These sections are then picked up and fused onto the blown piece.
Avventurina
Copper crystals dispersed in the glass create a warm, pinpoint sparkle. Short hot-working and careful annealing preserve its brilliance.
