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.
Heat is state
Temperature becomes interface.
Color, glow, and timing communicate where the glass is in its making rather than merely decorating the page.
Cooling is craft
Time remains visible.
The tempering sequence treats waiting as part of the work, making annealing legible as a designed state.
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.
