About Tau Murano Mesa de Centro
Tau Murano é uma pequena mesa de centro composta por dois elementos em vidro soprado unidos por uma fina faixa metálica. O design bicolor confere à mesa uma forma suave e uma aparência luminosa. O vidro sodo-cálcico é soprado em molde segundo a antiga tradição de Murano, sendo depois cortado e polido por mestres vidreiros. O principal desafio foi criar uma estrutura estável e confiável, preservando a leveza do frágil vidro. Tau Murano pode ser utilizada como mesa de centro, mesa de cabeceira ou objeto decorativo em qualquer ambiente.

- 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.
