The handblown glass is transparent on the outside and has grey and black effects on the inner globe shaped part. This gives a beautiful effect when the lamp is lit. The glass rests on a black metal base which holds a E27 light socket. La Murrina was a symbol of excellence in furniture and design with unique glass products “Made in Murano”. Thanks to its strong roots and high artisan skills, the company operated in the high-end market combining tradition, design and technology. The story of the company dates back to the 1960s in Murano where there was a small furnace managed by a group of glass-worker masters. The company started realizing prestigious objects in blown glass created by the owners of the furnace. In 1974, the property of the furnace came under the control of a family from Milan, who already produced items for lighting in glass and metal. Hence, the company started to be managed as a corporation. “la murrina” trademark was registered all around the world and its collections started to spread worldwide.
