For Salone Raritas, the new exhibition space at Salone del Mobile.Milano dedicated to special and limited-edition design, Draga & Aurel present a new chapter of their research dedicated to glass and its relationship with light, developed in collaboration with the historic Murano glassworks Salviati.

In this journey, glass moves beyond its material function to become a field of artistic experimentation, where light plays an active role in shaping perception and the transformation of the material itself.

As with resin, glass is explored through an open process developed in close dialogue with master glassmakers and furnace techniques, turning production into an integral part of the project. The result is not a fixed form, but a living material that carries traces of fire, gesture, and transformation.

This research takes shape in two projects: the Soffio lamps, which explore the plasticity of blown glass through techniques such as cotisso, pulegoso, and crackle, and the Crisalide lamp, where color becomes both matter and luminous surface. In both works, light does not simply illuminate, but becomes an active presence, generating movement and continuous transformation.
