The Design

About Tau Murano Table basse

Tau Murano est une petite table basse composée de deux éléments en verre soufflé réunis par un fin bandeau métallique. Le design bicolore confère à la table une forme douce et une apparence lumineuse. Le verre sodocalcique est soufflé dans un moule selon l'ancienne tradition de Murano, puis coupé et poli par des maîtres verriers. Le principal défi consistait à créer une structure stable et fiable tout en préservant la légèreté de ce verre fragile. Tau Murano peut être utilisée comme table basse, table de chevet ou objet décoratif dans n'importe quelle pièce.

Unique Properties: This coffee table features two blown glass elements joined by a delicate metal frame. This creates a two-tone design with a soft shape and luminous feel. Named Tau Murano, it has a distinctive design that is as elegant as it is unique. The table is handcrafted using traditional Venetian glassblowing techniques passed down for generations. Tau Murano adds beauty and wonder to any environment through its one-of-a-kind craftsmanship.
Dimensions & Packaging: 48 x 48 x 35 h

Tags: glass, blown glass, handcrafted, coffee table, small table, side table, two-tone
Production Technology: The soda-lime glass is blown on a mold after collecting the glass mass in a melting furnace as per ancient Murano tradition. The glass is then cut and ground, and the base and top are joined by a thin metal band.
Design Challenge: The biggest challenge was designing a structure that was sturdy and reliable enough to contrast a fragile material such as blown glass, yet still retain the characteristic lightness and brightness of the material.
Research: Reflex has always worked with blown glass and has developed over the years a certain competence.
However, as it is a very complex material and requires artisanal workmanship, many factors must be considered when designing.
It was crucial to rely on a team of master glassmakers who worked on the project from the beginning and created numerous prototypes before settling on the final model.
Inspiration: Tau Murano was born from the long collaboration between Reflex and the masters who preserve the ancient traditions of Venetian glass art. It combines a coffee table and a decorative object, creating an elegant and nostalgic vibe that can be used to beautify any environment, without being restricted to a specific area of the house.
Project Duration: The project was presented at the Salone del Mobile 2023
Operation Flow: Tau Murano can serve various functions in the home. It works well as a coffee table, bringing color to living areas. Tau Murano also makes a pleasant reading nook. Bedside tables are another option. For a focal point place one in the center of a room to encourage conversation.
