Why Murano Glass Is Trending in Australia

Australia's design scene favours light-filled, minimalist spaces that nod to mid-century modernism. 

Murano glass fits seamlessly its clean lines and sculptural forms diffuse light beautifully in high-ceiling homes from Sydney to Byron Bay. 

Recent collector interest has spiked, driven by pieces from makers like Barovier & Toso and Seguso, which appreciate steadily as tastes mature.

Hand-blown on Venice's Murano island since the 13th century, these items feature signature bubbles and colour swirls impossible to replicate in mass production. 

In 2026, sustainable sourcing and provenance matter more than ever, making vintage Murano a smart choice over reproductions.

Perfect for Australian Interiors

Murano pendants hang elegantly over open-plan dining areas, casting prismatic glows without overwhelming minimalist palettes. 

Sconces add drama to hallways, while opaline vases ground natural materials like timber and linen.

Byron Bay's coastal vibe pairs especially well with pink vetro soffiato tones and 1970s fluid designs.
