L ’Amour L’amour n’est pas un sentiment, c’est un art.

Paul Morand

A new way of perceiving Murano glass and its true essence of being decorative, evocative, precious. More than any other material, glass bestows emotion, allusions. la murrina is proud to present L’Amour, the new collection dedicated to love and to the passion for beautiful, timeless creations.

Hence the inspiration for the first two items of the collection, snippets of Made in Italy where the Murano master glass blowers have captured the magic which for time immemorial has distinguished their craft: the Ballroom series, designed by Samuele Mazza evokes the atmosphere created by antique candelabras; the Jardin de Verre line by Alessandro La Spada features dreamlike pieces blending design with art to tell their unique tale.

Ballroom and Jardin de Verre are the debut of a new design adventure spacing beyond lighting, L’Amour by la murrina will explore different areas and diverse types of creations ranging from furniture to jewelry, accessories and distinctive display solutions.

Murano glass, is of course, the one and only protagonist.

Ballroom design Samuele Mazza

Whether it is black or whether it is white, “no colour” (the sum of all colours or the lack of colours) is the distinguishing feature which gives an unmistakable contemporary look to the new Samuele Mazza chandelier for la murrina: the unique look of opulent anti-minimalism, dreams and contamination has always been the stylistic hallmark of the designer.

The decidedly evocative chandelier, worthy of the most magnificent Gattopardo settings – the novel set in the island of Sicily where the designer was born – also mixes touches and contamination of Florence, another city which strongly influenced the course of the designer.

The name Ballroom is a tribute to the magical ballrooms of times gone by: from the magnificence and opulence of the Palazzo Valguarnera-Gangi (featured in Luchino Visconti’s film adaptation of Il Gattopardo), to the Reggia di Caserta and other examples of Italian architectural excellence of the 700s.

The Ballroom collection perfectly recreates the atmosphere of antique candelabras and is completed by wall, floor and table lights.

The collection pays homage to an area of the World which no longer exists in modern political geography; the adjective form perfectly fits the mood which Mazza defines as “byzantine” with the up and coming middle bourgeoisie aiming at possessing “fragments of Made In Italy”.

Jardin de Verre design Alessandro La Spada

The Jardin de Verre collection by Alessandro La Spada, a love story between man and nature, the tale of a nineteenth century English Doctor, Nathaniel B. Ward, who was passionate about botany. Observing the metamorphosis of a chrysalis closed in a jar with a handful of earth, Ward discovered that seeds and spores not only germinate but survive for years.

His observation led to the so called “Wardian cases”, true ecosystems which allowed transportation of plants and flowers from one continent to another and became decorative features in houses of the time.

The chandelier, as well as the wall lamps, bases and table lamps in the Jardin de Verre collection reproduce the most beautiful bell shape of Wardian cases and enclose three different items made from glass. The complexity and sheer beauty of the glass objects are a declaration of the skill and art of the Murano Masters: the cactus with curved leaves; the delicate, graceful butterflies sitting on fine branches; the notched cup of the bell and its precious clapper.

The client can compose and alternate the three subjects to obtain a totally customized object.

An overall embellishing touch is given by cartridge shaped arms to support the bell.

The arms are crafted with spiral streaks which can only be executed by exceptionally talented glass Masters.

The unusual delicate, subtle colour palette – amethyst, honey, periwinkle blue and crystal combined with the bright gold of the metal elements – lend a decidedly dreamlike atmosphere to the collection.

Samuele Mazza

Moving from Palma di Montechiaro in the heart of Sicily — a place of duality, of triumphant Baroque Catholicism and unexpected touches of Jewish and western culture— on to his training in the swinging Florence of the ‘80s — a laboratory of creative processes, a ground for fresh research and experimentation in culture, music and fashion— to land in the current bipolarity on the Milan-New York axis.

A multifaceted talent, a writer of books on fashion, on the history of costume, on the relationship between art, photography, cinema and fashion. Designer of a line of products which quickly rose to international acclaim, Visionnaire, for IPE srl and art director of the company until 2010.

The line takes inspiration from theatrically decorated houses, from the self representation, dotted with traces, literary tributes built around the rare, precious catalysts of memory like art and photography, which scatter the walls of dwellings to shape the private throbbing heart.

Alessandro La Spada

Born in Reggio Calabria to parents of Sicilian origin. Always fascinated emotional-looking objects. He transfer to Milan where he obtained a diploma in interior design at the Interior Design Institute.

He works as a designer and art director with several companies.

His most significant projects are represented by the consolidated partnership with IPE Group in the collections Visionnaire.

It ‘was a lecturer in furniture design at the Domus Academy in Milan and the Interior Design Institute. He loves to work closely with the matter especially to the metal.

He calls himself a self-taught artist with the enthusiasm of the craftsman.
