For the venetian murano glass company venini, italian designer fabio novembre combines these two practices with ‘murana’. Considering it to be mask in itself, the glass vessel is a volume which he says, ’is meant to be worn for filtering the reality through its surfaces, a face without sexual or racial connotations, able to represent every kind of humanity, a soul for an object that could casually be perceived as a vase…’ ‘murana’ is set for presentation during milan design week 2012~
