“It was born as an attempt to interpret the drop-shaped chandelier of Murano glassmakers in a modern way. The attempt fails both for the refusal of the Murano workers to assimilate new production technologies and for the “arrogant” ability that plastic seems to have, at that particular moment (1969) to face and solve any problem by substituting and replacing any other material. ” (E. De Munari)
