The Design
About Tau Murano Meja Kopi
Tau Murano adalah meja kopi berukuran kecil yang terbuat dari dua elemen kaca tiup yang disatukan oleh pita logam tipis. Desain dua warnanya memberikan meja ini bentuk yang lembut dan tampilan yang berkilau. Kaca soda-lime ditiup di atas cetakan mengikuti tradisi kuno Murano, lalu dipotong dan digerinda oleh para maestro pengrajin kaca. Tantangan utamanya adalah menciptakan struktur yang stabil dan andal sekaligus mempertahankan kesan ringan dari kaca yang rapuh. Tau Murano dapat digunakan sebagai meja kopi, meja samping tempat tidur, atau objek dekoratif di ruangan mana pun.

- 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.
