Melt
Lagoon reflections on baked glass
Design by Leo De Carlo
MELT is a metaphoric representation of the material that surrounds Venice: water. The chromatic changes that, from hour to hour, from season to season, the lagoon undergoes become a source of inspiration for careful chromatic research on the surfaces of the furnishings that make up the collection.

Inspiring Melt
Soft aesthetic in its shapes and organic in its surfaces
The MELT collection is a tribute to the industriousness of Murano and the Venetian lakeside nature. Inspired by the technique of glass casting that takes place in the furnaces of Murano, through the irregularity of the fusion, MELT furniture takes on a soft aesthetic in its shapes and organic in its surfaces.
Through the application of coloured veils and silvery reflections, achieved through the craft skills present in Arte Veneziana, shapeless and iridescent objects come to life. The contemporary interpretation of a technique and a gaze of curiosity towards an environment become the best way to express the protective spirit that the MELT collection represents.

Melt
Venice is the city of mirrors, the city of mirages, at once solid and liquid, at once air and stone.Erica Jong
Baked glass, colours and the sparkle given by the silvering will make your interiors brighter, airier and stylish. Each piece is customised to best suit your environment.
We always go beyond furniture, towards art which, combined with craftsmanship, becomes a unique and exclusive design.
Technical Descriptions
Finishings
The decoration of Melt glass is achieved by applying different layers of colour, silver and primer. The final effect can be transparent or non-transparent, depending on the intended use of the product. In general, non-transparent tops are those that are applied on third party surfaces (furniture, walls, etc.) as the non-transparency allows the glues used to mount the pane to be hidden.
