Invited to exhibit VI+M Studio’s Normanna lamps at Light Blowing in 2017 – the first edition of the project curated and directed by Ilaria Ruggiero and Samantha Punis dedicated to the best in blown-glass lighting design – Purho subsequently entrusted AtemporaryStudio with the role of artistic coordinator and head of the company’s external communication and media relations. Collaborations with new designers, well-thought-out communication tools and a carefully planned calendar of participations in design and blown glass events have repositioned the brand on the international design map.
Founded in 2012 by Andrea Dotto, the brand’s current CEO, with the aim of giving concrete form to the infinite potential of the relationship between Murano glass and contemporary design, Purho stands out for its solid artistic research in which the observation of the flow of taste and new creative languages have been translated through the filter of Murano glassmaking tradition.
The result, which can be likened to an exercise in concision in which few exceptions are made for decoration, is a set of themed collections with clean designs in which colour treated in its pure form plays a central role. A multitude of shades and selected special finishes compose a dense, vitamin-like colour palette that is open to customisation and dedicated production.
The lighting design, vases and glassware collections made entirely of Murano glass and conceived by some of the most prominent designers on the international scene – Federico Peri, Ludovica+Roberto Palomba, founders of Palomba Serafini Associati, Paritzki&Liani, the design branch of the eponymous architecture studio based in Tel Aviv and Ischia, Karim Rashid, Alessandro Mendini, Elena Cutolo, VI+M and LPWK – were joined by the Edizioni section, featuring refined fabrics, precious metals and lacquered glass for a new generation of limited edition products consisting of tables and console tables with an unusual design by Filippo Feroldi, produced in collaboration with Colleoni Bergamo.
