The LUgiano chandelier from the LU Murano collection represents a conceptual turning point in artistic lighting: it is the first bifacial work that encapsulates in a single creation the artistic evolution of Master Fabio Fornasier. This dual creation is born from an introspective journey that led the designer to retrace his career, from classical foundations to contemporary innovations.
The exceptionality of LUgiano lies in its unique bifacial structure: two half chandeliers united by a central mirror that creates a fascinating play of reflections. One side celebrates classical tradition with leaves and flowers in Venetian style, whilst the other expresses the modernity of contemporary LU design. The mirror allows observers to see completely one or the other version depending on the observation point.
The creative journey of this dual work reflects the artistic journey of Master Fornasier, trained according to classical Murano styles and then developed towards the concept of illuminating work. The chromatic choice is symbolic: modern black for the contemporary side and classic gold for traditional decorations, creating a perfect dialogue between different eras.
The result is a conceptual chandelier that transforms every environment into a space of artistic reflection, where Venetian craftsmanship meets design innovation. LUgiano is not merely a lighting solution, but a creation that, like the deity Janus with two faces, knows how to look simultaneously at the past and future of the tradition that links Venice to glass.
