At the appointment with Light+Building 2018, Siru attended the event showing new products created in cooperation with international designers, able to re-elaborate the traditional concept of glass blowing production. Thanks to the experience and knowledge in techniques and craftsmanship arts of his founder Rudy Marinotto, Siru keeps having a rash attitude towards experiments in the employment and processing of glass, in order to get a highly customized production.  The glass, a modular material that leaves space for creativity, has given rise to a huge range of shapes, finishes, colours, decorations, which define the uniqueness of the products.

Since 1989, Siru is able of melting the operational and contextual needs that
are typical of a company with the natural tendency of considering itself as a “research workshop” rather than an industry in common meaning. From this definition, Siru derives his tireless fervour in making research and experiments.

New combinations of colours, surfaces, textures, metal cages create objects of undoubted worth, completely unrelated to the serial mass production. The DESIGN and GLASS collections have been enlarged by 8 new glass products, according to the most ancient Murano artisan traditions of blowing glass and with the aid of wooden moulds or metal cages created by famous designers.

Inside Pause designed by Gumdesign the liquefied glass drop broadens by glassblower continues to transform its shape taking changeable ways.

The elegant and timeless shape of the Cloche lamp, designed by Kanz Architetti, is part of our ancestral memory, while the decreasing rhythm of the metal rings, based on Fibonacci’s numerical sequence, brings its verticality back to the genuine pleasant proportions of the golden section.

The Cage project starts from the experience of Odoardo Fioravanti in the design of industrial products and his passion for classic outdoor lamps with protective cages. Hence the thought to blow glass into structures which allude to those forms and could domesticate the aesthetic, bringing it inside the houses.

Organic shapes are a constant source of inspiration because they often show the most obvious solution to a structural problem. The caged glass is all about surface reticulation, like shells that may be a valid example. Specifically, in turtles, shells reticule are quite similar to the metal cage, a more rigid frame under which the rest of the shell expands. Galapagos designed by Giorgio Biscaro follows exactly the same generative approach, starting from a simple hexagonal shape, then expanding it parametrically and wrapping the whole pattern into a very basic solid, a simple sphere like the curved and almost spherical shells of testudo turtles.

In the Rudy Marinotto’s Nest project the milky white shell and pastel colours are hidden in the surface worked with baloton technique, which is noticed only when the light is on. A magic lamp, in which the initial shades blend in a single colour stain.

Coloured and elegant, the Faro project by Rudy Marinotto reflects the light where necessary through the baloton surface of the glass and transmits its texture, spreading bright effects outside. A rounded coloured metal head emphasizes its shape.

The pendant lamp Suona designed by Büro Famos aims to interpret Venetian glassmaking tradition in a contemporary way. Different finishes and surfaces of the monochrome glass create intriguing beauty, a discreet highlight in every environment.
