CONTEMPORARY
LEO MIRAI
COLLECTION
Rich materials skilfully crafted
Metal casting: nickel plated brass or polished steel
are the base materials for the Laudarte Contemporary
Collection, giving intrinsic quality to each product.
Crystal: this transparent and particularly brilliant glass,
obtained with the use of lead silicate, was perfected in
Bohemia towards the end of the 17th century. Thanks
to its suitability for precision grinding, it allows Laudarte
to create clean and personalised shapes and geometries.
Murano glass: in the century-old Venetian glass
tradition, soda is added to glass to allow melting at
lower temperatures.
The glass remains ductile for long, allowing expert
artisans to create special and elaborate forms.
Color glass paste: “pate de verre” is one of the oldest
known forms of glass working. These techniques first
flowered around 1500 - 1000 BC in Mesopotamia and
ancient Egypt and enjoyed a renaissance in the 19th and
20th centuries in Europe, especially in France. Laudarte
uses glass paste for its distinctive luster which derives
from having the colours as part of the glass matrix as
opposed to being painted over.
