Designer Luca Nichetto has created the colourful Fusa collection exclusively for Svenskt Tenn. His inspiration sprung from Josef Frank’s Terrazzo textile print, where the striking stone formations formed the basis for Nichetto’s original glass form. To attain all of the colours he needed, he used the colour dye that was left over from different glass manufacturers in Murano. Instead of going to waste, these colours have been processed, refined and reused. All of the items in the collection are handmade at the NasonMoretti glassworks, founded in Murano in 1923.
