"It was created in an attempt to interpret the Murano glass pendant chandelier in a modern way.
The attempt failed both due to the refusal of the Murano craftsmen to assimilate new production technologies and for the "arrogant" ability that the plastic seemed to have, in that particular moment in time (1969) to address and resolve any problem by substituting any other material". (E. De Munari)
