Stories of Italy is pleased to present a new project inspired from the chromatic research and the deconstruction of the technique behind the Murano glass macchia.
Traditionally, the macchia is applied in a single phase and it is subsequently coated with a crystal layer.
Here, instead, it has been deconstructed and reassembled. By completely removing the crystal, the artworks lose the sparkling effect – a characteristic of the macchia - in favour of an opaque one. The chromatic motifs are created through repeated multiple applications of colourful pigments and flakes: layers on layers, macchie on macchie.
The opacity as well as the layers bring to life a soft and dense texture – a drastic departure from the formal canons of the Murano glass tradition – whose optical effect is reminiscent of the vast array of colourful glazes, marbles and pietre dure in vogue throughout ancient Italy, which were at the heart of this project’s research. This project marks another step towards Stories of Italy’s ongoing reinterpretation of Murano glass art, and it strengthens the company’s vision as an innovative entity within contemporary Italian art glass.

Frangipani with a lemongrass twist fragrance
We found that our Macchia su Macchia glass collection could not be completed without some colorful and precious scented candles. That’s the reason why we chose 100% cotton wicks and the best italian vegetable wax - with extremely low soot emissions during burning - to create these 6 different candles. At the end (they last around 100 hours!) the glass can be used as a vase or pen holder on your desk.
The glass technique: the chromatic motifs of the collection are obtained by repeating multiple fusions of colored glass powders and flakes. Through this procedure, the glass flakes melt one on the other, giving life to unique patterns, always different from each other. Up to 5 different layers are needed to achieve the rich, soft and dense texture of this collection. Each piece is mouth-blowed in Murano island -Venice – by an expert Maestro.
