Madonna del Monte

Produced by master artisans from Murano in Italy

“I was moved by the water in movement, grounding on the banks of the abandoned island after the ride of a vaporetto on the lagoon. I also liked the contrast of textures between liquid elements, the cloudy sky and the brick walls in ruins.”

Noé Duchaufour-Lawrance

The Murano glass echoes the lagoon’s misty blue water, giving it a singular density, on the edge of becoming solid. Waves are sculpted on the surface as they ripple across these geometric aluminum shapes, then disappear like a fading waterline.

Each piece has its own lighting effect in sync with its surroundings.

Process

At first, inspiration came from the work of photographer Lucie Jean, titled Down by the Water, which focuses on a small island in the Venice lagoon called Madonna del Monte. On the glass plates of the tables, it is the projected air that pushes the molten glass, creating waves that accumulate and transform the surface.
