Italian Traditions

In Italy, tradition is not a ceremony — it is rooted in culture. It begins where light meets fire.
It lives in hands that repeat the same gestures, in the silent language of heritage between master and apprentice.
Glass has always held a sacred place in the heart of Italian craft.

In ancient Rome, it was shaped to carry oils, perfumes, and wine — objects that combined function with elegance.
The story continued in Tuscany, where glass became vital to science and medicine
And in Florence, the Renaissance gave glass new meaning — protected, elevated, significant.

Centuries later, in Venice the tradition evolved and has become the art of glass-making that is famous in the whole world. There, behind closed doors and glowing embers, artisans turned molten sand into delicate forms of light and gold reflected in unique handcrafted glass— the perfection of fragile material. This mastery helped raise Venice into a symbol of power, beauty, and cultural dominance — created in fire, reflected in glass.

MUN is born of this lineage and holds the Italian heritage mixed with functionality

Our designs begin in Venice — shaped by the soft motion of canals, the transparency of the lagoon, and the architecture of light. They are sketched by hand, then transformed by fire into a modern vision of elegant homeware. Each piece is then brought to life in an Italian workshop, where the precision is achieved using tube glassblowing and natural pigmentation — methods unchanged for centuries. Crafted entirely by hand, these pieces are entrusted only to skilled glassmakers whose knowledge lives in muscle memory — a craft that takes years to learn, a lifetime to perfect.

This is not a production. This is the embodiment of design in the pieces that accompany us in everyday life: a morning glass of water, lively family lunch, celebration parties full of joy or quiet glass of wine in the evening. A thread of beauty stretched across time, shaped today for those who seek not just objects, but wish to surround themselves with pieces that speak memory and reflection of important moments.

To hold MUN is to hold a piece of Italy — not as it was, but as it continues to be. In fire. In hand. In reflection.
