About Tau Murano Stolić za kavu

Tau Murano je mali stolić za kavu izrađen od dva elementa od puhanog stakla spojena tankom metalnom trakom. Dvobojni dizajn daje stoliću mekani oblik i blistav izgled. Natrij-kalcijevo staklo puše se u kalupu prema drevnoj muranskoj tradiciji, a zatim ga režu i bruse majstori staklari. Glavni izazov bio je stvoriti strukturu koja je stabilna i pouzdana, uz zadržavanje lakoće krhkog stakla. Tau Murano može se koristiti kao stolić za kavu, noćni ormarić ili dekorativni predmet u bilo kojoj prostoriji.

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.

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.
