About Tau Murano Tavolino da caffè
Tau Murano è un piccolo tavolino composto da due elementi in vetro soffiato uniti da una sottile fascia metallica. Il design bicolore conferisce al tavolino una forma morbida e un aspetto luminoso. Il vetro sodico-calcico viene soffiato a stampo secondo l'antica tradizione muranese, per poi essere tagliato e molato da maestri vetrai. La sfida principale è stata creare una struttura stabile e affidabile, mantenendo al contempo la leggerezza del fragile vetro. Tau Murano può essere utilizzato come tavolino da caffè, comodino oppure come oggetto decorativo in qualsiasi 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.
