La Murrina
La Murrina is an Italian company known for high-end Murano glass lighting and decorative objects, combining traditional glassmaking techniques with contemporary design and modern production methods.
The origins of La Murrina go back to the 1960s on the island of Murano, where a small furnace was operated by a group of master glassmakers. In this early phase, the production consisted mainly of prestigious blown-glass objects created by the furnace owners themselves.
In 1974, the furnace came under the control of a family from Milan, already active in the production of lighting in glass and metal. From that moment on, the company was managed as a structured corporation, and the “La Murrina” trademark was registered internationally. Its collections were gradually distributed worldwide.
Around the year 2000, La Murrina expanded its activities through collaborations with architects and designers, introducing contemporary collections while continuing to rely on traditional Murano glassblowing techniques.
La Murrina S.R.L. operates in the high-end interior and lighting market, producing both standard collections and custom-made projects for private residences, hotels, and commercial interiors. The company positions itself in the luxury segment, where craftsmanship, technical know-how, and Italian design culture play a central role.
