Warp and weft as glass in the Murano’s crucibles. The magic of the ancient weaving factory tells the story of the murrhine glass with a weaving threads made of culture and tradition.
The base colour of the textiles are the glass colours melting in the pot furnace, the Murrine are the yarns, the stiches and the fabric motives.
