Stratum Murano Glass Sculpture: Layers of Colour, Depth and Light
Some artworks reveal their beauty immediately. Others invite you to keep looking.
Stratum belongs to the second category.
This contemporary Murano glass sculpture explores the relationship between layered colour, transparency and solid form, creating an object that feels both monumental and luminous.
Part of the Chroma Collection, presented at Maison & Objet in Paris in January 2025, Stratum brings an architectural approach to the expressive possibilities of handmade glass.
A Landscape of Colour Within Glass
The defining feature of Stratum is its layered internal composition.
Light blue, green and deep indigo come together in overlapping areas of colour, creating the impression of different strata within the material.
Some sections appear transparent and delicate, while others reveal a greater concentration of colour.
As light travels through the sculpture, the relationship between these layers becomes more complex.
The result is a sense of depth that changes depending on the viewing angle and surrounding illumination.
Fluid Geometry, Solid Presence
Stratum combines flowing geometric forms with a substantial, monolithic silhouette.
This contrast gives the sculpture its distinctive personality.
Its outer form feels solid and architectural, while the colour inside suggests movement and fluidity.
The relationship reflects one of the most fascinating qualities of glass: its ability to preserve the appearance of movement within a permanent, solid material.
Rather than relying on elaborate surface decoration, Stratum makes transparency and internal colour the main elements of its visual expression.
A Contemporary Statement Piece
Measuring approximately 34 cm high, 24 cm wide and 9 cm deep, Stratum has a strong sculptural presence.
Its substantial glass body makes it particularly appealing for a dedicated display surface, console or pedestal.
The combination of blue, green and indigo works beautifully with natural stone, dark wood and neutral architectural finishes.
Placed near natural light, the sculpture can reveal subtle changes in colour throughout the day.
Directional lighting offers another way to emphasize its internal layers and geometric composition.
Part of the Chroma Collection
Stratum is part of a contemporary exploration of Murano glass through colour, transparency and sculptural form.
Each piece is handcrafted in Murano, giving the composition the individuality of artisanal production.
Its distinctive character makes it an appealing choice for collectors, design enthusiasts and interiors where artworks contribute to the overall architectural atmosphere.
Look Beyond the Surface
Stratum invites you to appreciate glass not only as a beautiful material, but also as a medium for exploring space and depth.
Its overlapping colours create an artwork that reveals something different from every angle.
Choose Stratum to bring the richness of layered colour and contemporary Murano craftsmanship into your space.
