ilLUsion sound chandelier

The ilLUsion chandelier from the LU Murano collection represents a revolution in design lighting: it is the first functional artwork that unites light and sound in a single creation of blown Murano glass. Designed by Master Fabio Fornasier, this sound chandelier redefines the concepts of contemporary furnishing.

The exceptionality of ilLUsion lies in its ability to be admired, listened to and illuminate simultaneously. This technological innovation challenges conventions: Murano glass, traditionally considered unsuitable for acoustic applications, becomes the protagonist of an integrated audio system that guarantees 360-degree stereophonic diffusion.

The development path of this unique creation required a year of intensive research. Midwoofer and tweeter speakers with kevlar, cardboard and fibreglass cones were tested, selecting the latter for their perfect integration with the design. The crossover filters were modified and perfected to achieve optimal frequency balance, whilst the thickness and shape of the glass were optimised to eliminate unwanted resonances.

The result is a stable system that transforms every environment into a complete sensory space, where Venetian craftsmanship meets advanced audio technology. ilLUsion is not merely a luxury chandelier, but a multisensory experience that engages those who observe and listen to it in a unique emotional journey. This creation uniting beauty, sound purity, design and art represents the evolution of residential and contract lighting, opening new frontiers in high-end interior design.
