VI The Divine Chandelier in Recycled Glass

The VI The Divine Chandelier from the LU Murano collection represents a revolution in design with recycled materials: it stems from the encounter between two ancient Italian traditions, that of Murano glass and that of winemaking, united by the creativity of Master Fabio Fornasier. This work of creative reuse transforms Franciacorta bottles into high artistic creation, demonstrating how artisanal excellence can valorise waste materials.

The exceptional nature of VI lies in its etymological and technical genesis: from the Latin 'Vitrum' (glass) and 'Vinum' (wine) emerges a work that transforms 180 Franciacorta glass bottles into illuminating elements through grinding and hand-reshaping at 1300 degrees. The design is inspired by the structure of the celebrated Venetian Rezzonico chandelier, reinterpreting its form through the reuse of bottle glass according to traditional Murano methods, creating a perfect synthesis between glass art and valorisation of wine waste materials.

The path of international recognition of this creation from recycled materials testifies to its artistic and cultural value. Presented at the Venice Architecture Biennale 2006, VI won third prize at the Biennale of Cheongju in South Korea in 2007, and was then exhibited at the prestigious Glasstress in Riga in 2011, consolidating LU Murano's reputation in the contemporary glass art panorama.

The result is a masterpiece of creative reuse that transforms every environment into a space of cultural reflection, where Venetian craftsmanship meets the valorisation of waste materials. VI is now permanently exhibited at the Fondazione Berengo in Murano and at the Gerovassiliou Wine Museum in Greece, a symbol of Italian excellence that knows how to reinvent itself through the reuse of bottle glass, opening new frontiers in design with high-end recycled materials.
