The Murano Sottovuoto chandelier from the LU Murano collection represents a revolution in conceptual illuminating art: it is the first vacuum-sealed work that transforms reflection on glass tradition into a celebration of Murano craftsmanship. Conceived by Master Fabio Fornasier, this conceptual chandelier redefines the value of art through an innovative preservation process.
The exceptionality of Murano Sottovuoto lies in its unique creative process: Murano chalices entirely handmade are re-fired in the furnace until they become thin, then vacuum-sealed with all their minute imperfections that render each piece unique. This innovative technique allows observing the refined workmanship from an unprecedented perspective, symbolising the fragility and preciousness of the Murano glass system.
The conceptual journey of this illuminating artwork stems from the desire to restore proper value to artisanal objects. Master Fornasier sought to transform these elements, modifying their original intended use to integrate them into a chandelier that becomes a tribute to centuries-old Murano tradition.
The result is a contemporary design chandelier that preserves glass art over time, where artisanal tradition meets conceptual innovation. Murano Sottovuoto is not merely a design chandelier, but an artistic creation that elevates glass tradition to a symbol of Italian creativity, preserving it through contemporary art.
