Fornace alla Luna
One furnace. One typology. Nine commissions a year.
Fornace alla Luna translates a Murano goblet atelier into a digital system governed by heat, cooling time, provenance, and the rituals of a working furnace.
The premise
The glass is made at night.
The site is not organized like a catalogue. It follows the sequence of the workshop: composition, furnace, bench, tempering, archive, and commission.
A cold blue-black field keeps the furnace light consequential. Amber is reserved for heat, active states, and the moments when material is changing.
Product principles
The world becomes a working system.
01 · Heat is state
Temperature becomes interface.
Color, glow, and timing communicate where the glass is in its making rather than merely decorating the page.
02 · Cooling is craft
Time remains visible.
The tempering sequence treats waiting as part of the work, making annealing legible as a designed state.
03 · Archive is provenance
Every object keeps its history.
The archive connects form, batch, maker, and commission so scarcity reads as consequence rather than posture.
Built proof
A concept carried into code.
Art direction · Product system · Frontend
- Composition
- A nightly batch system gives the material an authored beginning.
- Tempera
- A time-based state model turns cooling into an understandable process.
- Archivio
- A model-book structure preserves provenance across the collection.
- Commissione
- A deliberately limited intake reflects the capacity of the workshop.
