LU(ni-in)verso

The LU(ni-in)verso sculpture from the LU Murano collection represents the evolution in contemporary glass art: it is the first Murano conceptual work that liberates glass from its decorative function to transform it into pure artistic expression. Created by Master Fabio Fornasier, this lighting sculpture marks the definitive passage from traditional craftsmanship to 21st century artistic language through innovative optical fibre lighting.

The exceptionality of LU(ni-in)verso lies in its technical evolution: from the transparencies of the first oil-powered versions, to iridescent chromatisms and metallic reflections, culminating in expressive completion with optical fibres integrated in blown glass. This innovation represents significant technical progress, where optical fibre technology blends seamlessly with Murano glass tradition.

The creative journey of this lighting sculpture with optical fibres demonstrates Master Fornasier's constant research in experimenting with new expressive languages. The sculpture has achieved prestigious exhibition recognition, displayed in historic spaces including Palazzo Franchetti on the Grand Canal and the Basilica of Santa Maria e Donato in Murano, demonstrating the ability to integrate harmoniously in diverse architectural contexts.

The result is a contemporary lighting sculpture that transforms every environment into a space of artistic reflection, where Venetian craftsmanship meets contemporary technological research. LU(ni-in)verso is not merely a decorative work, but a creation that redefines the boundaries between function and pure aesthetic expression, establishing new standards in modern glass art and contemporary lighting art.
