At Maison Territo, Montreal’s destination for luxury décor, we believe true beauty carries a story. Few materials tell it better than Murano glass, born of fire, breath, and centuries of Italian mastery. Each piece is a balance of discipline and imagination, artistry and emotion. Today, Dolce & Gabbana Casa continues this legacy in collaboration with Murano’s finest artisans, bringing vibrant, hand-blown creations from Venetian furnaces to homes around the world.
The heritage of Murano
Centuries ago, Venice moved its glass furnaces to the island of Murano. There, families of master glassmakers built a quiet world of fire and artistry. Skills were passed from hand to hand, whispered from master to apprentice, like a secret kept alive through time. From this devotion came a design language shaped as much by discipline as by imagination.
Today, that same spirit still burns. Dolce & Gabbana Casa joins Murano’s artisans to carry this light forward, transforming molten glass into creations that bring Venetian character and emotion to contemporary spaces.
From sand to form
Each Murano piece begins with the simplest ingredients: sand, soda, and limestone, melted into liquid light. Around the furnace, artisans move in quiet rhythm, gather, turn, breathe, reheat, until the glass finds its form.
Centuries-old techniques give each piece its soul. Murrine captures tiny glass mosaics suspended in color. Filigrana traces delicate lines through crystal. Sommerso layers tones that glow from within, while Incalmo joins hues as seamlessly as sea meeting sky. Together, they create a language of light spoken through human hands.
The beauty of the one-of-a-kind
No two Murano pieces are ever the same. Each carries the artisan’s breath, the rhythm of the workshop, and the warmth of the fire. In Dolce & Gabbana Casa’s collections, you see it in the way colors melt, in a curve slightly fuller than another, or in the faint mark where the glass once touched the rod.
Those traces are not flaws, they are the soul of craftsmanship. Murano glass doesn’t just decorate; it remembers. It holds a fragment of the moment it was born, capturing light and feeling that never fade.
The art of color and character
Murano is where color learns to speak. Designers dream in sketches; artisans give those dreams breath. Transparency meets shadow, and vibrant tones come alive within layers of crystal.
Here, Dolce & Gabbana Casa brings tradition into the present, combining centuries-old techniques with a bold, expressive use of color. Some collections radiate pure vibrancy, while others reveal striking personality through the Leopard pattern, reinterpreted in glass. Each creation becomes a meeting of passion and precision, where heritage transforms into contemporary art.
