LU Murano

A continuous process of training and experimentation made of travels and meetings with the contemporary art world, combined with inspirations that come from afar, forged the aesthetic eye of Fabio Fornasier, which led to the birth of all his creations.

The Fornasier Glass Factory was founded in Murano over 50 years ago, thanks to the entrepreneurial spirit, talent and technical knowledge of the Master Glassmaker Luigi Fornasier, an esteemed expert in the working of Venetian chandeliers.

Maestro Fabio Fornasier is the son of glass art, and following the advice of his father Luigi he became a very young Master and added to his technical ability inherited from his father his innate curiosity, spent in the continuous search for different shapes, volumes, colors and finishes , sometimes experimental, designed to give life to unique works, extremely refined in their workmanship, rich in fluid harmony and always surprising for their originality.

Maestro Fabio Fornasier loves to define his works, not without a veil of irony, “Illuminating Works”.

His works, characterized by a unique and unmistakable style and already exhibited in museums, are proof of how it is possible to put traditional Murano craft techniques at the service of contemporary artistic creativity.
For Maestro Fabio Fornasier it is a lifestyle choice.

Fabio Fornasier, born in 1963, has known from childhood the culture and manual coordination of his father Luigi in glass-art, and learned it making it his own, and expresses it in art.

Talented in drawing since the times of the furnace with her father, he has an innate ease working with glass: a natural ability to transform and shape it into artistic lights, immediately showing an aptitude for difficult and complex techniques.

Tradition and innovation come together in the works of Fabio Fornasier, an eclectic personality who combines craftsmanship with fertile creativity and an entrepreneurial spirit that continuously takes him to evolving the existing into something new; to creating a perfect blend of art and functionality.

Always looking for new inspiration, Fabio Fornasier taught his philosophy in many schools of glass art and design of international importance.

A continuous process of training and experimentation made of travels and meetings with the contemporary art world, combined with inspirations that come from afar, forged the aesthetic eye of Fabio Fornasier, which led to the birth of the LU chandelier.

The desire to grow, take up the challenge and experiment, has over the years driven maestro Fornasier to take part in important international projects and exhibitions, winning prizes and finally conquering museum exhibitions.

LU Murano is a unique concept design at once revolutionary and traditional. Sinuous blown-glass shapes combined
in dynamic motion, as though ruffled by a light breeze.

A motion conceived for each individual piece, blown by the artist and fashioned by hand at extremely high temperatures. A veritable glass ikebana whose elements are assembled poetically, one by one: each chandelier is unique, entirely hand made, and makes a strong uncompromising statement, giving the room a distintive look.
In a range of colours, transparencies, translucencies and reflections, each chandelier is an exclusive work that
speaks of the artist’s creative act and personal research, transcending fashions or market demands.
An innovative
and contemporary design, made with the most traditional glass-working techniques, that blends elegantly with classical interiors and becomes a centrepiece of modern spaces.

Indeed, LU is a harmonious synthesis of innovation and tradition, of the skill of the craftsman and technological creativity. A work of art, a never-before-seen chandelier.
