"Sometimes, at our furnace in Murano, we pause and think about time. The time we put into our work. The time it took us to get where we are."
The time that shaped
the lagoon around us. Ultimately, the time that passed between now and the 1295, when the first member of the Barovier family, Jacobello, began to work glass.
On most days, Venice doesn’t look at all like a painting or a postcard. She is a beauty veiled by a thick layer of humid mist - the perfect cover for the surrounding islands, where Venice’s artisanal secrets are kept. Murano, the island of glass, is a classic example.
In seven centuries of history, we have seen fashions come and go. Some were minimal, others more baroque, but every one of them chased time in a desperate search for the “new”.
From the magnificence of the Venetian chandeliers, with their outstanding decorations and colours, to the simple, elegant lines of the contemporary masterpieces that draw from the classic tradition: these are unique and timeless creations, spectacular sources of wonder..
This versatility and vision made Taif a new standard in the Barovier&Toso collection and represents their timeless pursuit of perfection.
