LU Murano presents for first time TechnoLUgy at Euroluce 2013 of Salone del Mobile Milan on 9 April 2013. Maestro Fabio Fornasier goes beyond traditional Murano glass, explores possibilities of carbon fibre, and creates collection designed for luxury nautical environments where lightness and resistance are fundamental characteristics.
Presentation of new carbon fibre chandelier marks important moment for Venetian company, evolving beyond traditional materials without losing own artistic identity. TechnoLUgy is created to respond to specific needs of yachts and exclusive boats.
2013 edition of Euroluce at Salone del Mobile Milan brings together over 2,500 international exhibitors and is world's most important showcase for design lighting. In this international context, TechnoLUgy presentation captures attention of nautical designers, yacht designers and architects specialised in marine environments.
For international buyers and nautical sector distributors, Milan event offers opportunity to discover how LU Murano has reinterpreted competence in luxury lighting through innovative materials. Carbon fibre opens new opportunities for integration of chandeliers in yachts and exclusive boats.
TechnoLUgy chandelier is result of Maestro Fornasier's material research, who developed production process using moulds obtained from original elements of LU chandeliers in blown glass. This technique allows transfer of Murano forms elegance into material with superior technical characteristics.
Extreme lightness and structural resistance of carbon fibre solve main problems of lighting in marine environment, where weight and stability are critical factors. For shipyards and nautical interior designers, TechnoLUgy opens design possibilities in yacht lighting.
Versatility of new material allows maintaining formal complexity of LU Murano creations without limitations imposed by traditional glass weight.
TechnoLUgy presentation at Euroluce 2013 marks LU Murano entry into nautical lighting sector. Capacity to innovate and valorise aesthetic identity highlights Maestro Fornasier's vision in responding to specialised nautical market needs.
Milan presentation opens prospects for collaborations with international shipyards and yacht designers. TechnoLUgy positions LU Murano as reference in lighting for luxury nautical sector and creates new reference point for international marine sector.
