The Design
About Tau Murano Salongbord
Tau Murano er et lite salongbord laget av to munnblåste glasselementer som er sammenføyd med et tynt metallbånd. Det tofargede designet gir bordet en myk form og et lysende uttrykk. Soda-kalk-glasset blåses i en form etter den eldgamle Murano-tradisjonen, og deretter skjæres og slipes det av mesterglassblåsere. Den største utfordringen var å skape en struktur som er stabil og pålitelig, samtidig som lettheten i det skjøre glasset bevares. Tau Murano kan brukes som salongbord, nattbord eller som et dekorativt objekt i ethvert rom.

- 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.
