What is
MURANO GLASS

Murano glass is a traditional world-renowned Italian craft made by a limited number of artisans, called Maestros, on the island of Murano, a small island in Venice in northern Italy. It is also called Venetian glass.


In 1291, the Republican government imprisoned glassmakers on the island of Murano to prevent them from leaking their skills.
Murano glass was the dream of the European aristocracy. Even today, there are people all over the world who wish to have it as a sign of prosperity. Evidence of the importance and the long history of Murano glass can be seen in museums around the world.

high-quality Murano glass?

If you have ever been to Venice, you may have seen a lot of Murano glass in souvenir shops.
But what we are going to introduce is different from the souvenir Murano glass. Every Chisa Murano glass item is made by highly experienced master artisans called "Maestros".
There are different grades of traditional crafts in your country, aren't there?

Why is it
designed in Tokyo?

 
The traditional patterns and forms of Murano glass are often quite ornate and magnificent, as most of them were made for use by European aristocrats.
Such ornamented works are certainly awe-inspiring, but don’t we get tired if we continue to see them every day?
In contrast, we strive to design Murano glass which is simple and versatile so that it can shine in as many situations as possible. Thus, we incorporate traditional Japanese aesthetics, which are known for their simplicity and elegance, in all of our designs. The products we make, hence, are a unique fusion of Italian and Japanese traditions, of beauty and subtlety. We strive to create products that you can seamlessly incorporate in your lives.
Try putting some food on your Murano glass plates or some flowers in your Venetian vase. The beauty of Japan will take shape on its own.
