Description
Laura’s story
Laura was born from a simple conviction: some shapes are timeless. This spherical opaline glass globe, of absolute purity, has crossed decades without ever going out of style. To bring it back to life, we turned to Portuguese glass artisans who carry on traditional manufacturing techniques — a faithful and exacting re-edition that respects both the original form and the quality of vintage glasswork.
Back in our Lisbon workshop, we assembled each globe onto an Estremoz marble base with beige and grey veining — that Portuguese white marble quarried since Antiquity in the Alentejo region, a symbol of nobility and durability. And so Laura was born, the most refined and classic piece in our collection.
