In my opinion the Murano glass chandelier must be the most magnificent in a our field. After one of many trips to Murano,
@josefinearthur and I decided that we had to make our own.
One of the earliest Murano chandeliers made was commissioned for Frederick IV of Denmark, adorning his former palace, Rosenborg, in Copenhagen to this day. As a little girl Rosenborg was a favored place of mine and has always been a source of inspiration. I used to go there to watch the crown jewels that are kept on display in underground vaults, and I’m still obsessed with the emerald, ruby, pearl and rose-cut diamonds in all it’s shades.
Apart from the crown jewels, Rosenborg also contains the only known glass cabinet. The cabinet became the setting for a collection of glass that Frederik had received as a gift from the city of Venice during his visit there in 1709.
It has been fun reimagining the classic Murano chandelier. We wanted to take it into a completely different direction, by removing the classic colorful flowers and heavy grapes and instead chose to work with the silhouette for a contemporary charm with graceful swirls and oval shapes. Opaline glass, accented with amber hues, giving the chandelier a soft, ethereal glow. We called it Rosenborg. I’m very proud of the result and I hope you like it as much as we do ❤️
