Information about the artist and/or manufacturer:
La Murrina was founded in Murano in the 1960s by a small glassworks run by a group of master glassmakers. Initially, the business focused on producing a small number of prestigious blown glass objects designed by the artists who owned the glassworks. In 1974, ownership of the small glassworks was transferred to a Milanese family who were already producing glass and metal lighting fixtures. The company began to be run in a more entrepreneurial way, the "La Murrina" brand was registered worldwide, and the collections expanded and enriched. The year 2000 marked the beginning of collaborations with important designers and architects who enriched the production with contemporary design collections, always made according to ancient glass blowing techniques, among whom we find Licio Zanetti.
