Where Tradition meets Design: NasonMoretti Furnace and Glass Blowing Experience
Try an immersive experience embracing craftmanship and modernity, in the middle of Murano’s artistic glass district. The visit to NasonMoretti begins with discovering the new corporate Museum, a fascinating collection of glasses which well identifies the Furnace’s heritage. Inside the mixing lab, a few select specialists use ancient recipes to create mixtures of colour. The heart of the artistic manufacture is the furnace: here, experienced glassmasters give life to unique blown and handmade pieces. In the cutting room the glass, after being cooled, goes under the final stages of production: cutting, polishing and signing. Quality check and storage room close the tour before exploring the showroom which displays the brand iconic collections.

NasonMoretti srl
GlassblowingDesigning a contemporary Venetian style through a century of glassblowingThe history of Murano glassmaking dates back to the Roman period, but the golden age of this exquisite craft started at the beginning of the 20th century, when many artists and designers started to collaborate with Murano's traditional artisans. It was in 1923 when four brothers – Antonio, Giuseppe, Vincenzo and Umberto Nason – founded NasonMoretti, a glassmaking company which has contributed to the evolution and international success of this craft, identifying a more contemporary Venetian style. Glasses, vases and the other creations of the NasonMoretti workshop are the result of superb traditional skills, handed down from one generation to another: preparing the colours, blowing and modelling the glass, cooling it in the "tempera" furnace, refining the creations. Throughout its history, NasonMoretti has succeeded in combining tradition with innovation, thanks to selected collaborations with artists, designers and some of the most prestigious fashion, luxury and jewellery brands.
