Venice,
...where the normal streets and squares are “ calli, campielli and
canals “, which for their colours, always offer fresh surprises...
...where the deep red of the bricks and the pale yellow of Istrian stone
are reflected in the lagoon...
...where the unequalled richness of two millennia of art is rediscovered
everyday by numberless visitors...
...where the Byzantine and Gothic unite elegantly in the Palladian
style...
...where the lagoon islands make a magical background...
There, there is the Lido. The island of the Lido
is the base of SIRU, since 1991 |

| COMPANY PROFILE |
In one of the Venetian Lagoon islands,
in an ageless place suspended between the past and the future, where
modern and ancient are fused to create new forms, SIRU was born.
This firm, modern and “ avant-garde “, has been able to rediscover the
tradition of local craftsmanship with particular attention to Venetian
lamps. The art handed down the centuries through generations of craftsmen
was weakening in time until it was almost extinct. |
There are few mastercraftmen who have
been able to preserve and pass on the secrets of this ancient skill and
this has helped in making the lamps objects even more precious and
therefore able to create a suggestive
atmosphere. A sensation rediscovered thanks to SIRU.
SIRU reproposes past models, without altering the ancient feeling and
maintaining the characteristic craftsmanship, also turning its attention
to the contemporary proposing a modern and winning style in their new
collections and entering, as a leader, in the panorama of indoor
decorative illumination.
The experience acquired in the years has made “SIRU” able to create,
also using clients’designs, personalised articles, for internal
decoration and illumination of hotels, restaurants and shops.
All this takes place in a vision developed in time which is not simply
remembered, but more correctly revisited, and in this way in the magical
atmosphere of Venice one creates emotions for every place, a place that
reveals its own light. |

| MANUFACTURE TECHNIQUES |
From simple metal wires, ably shaped and
welded to create new harmonious forms, take life the structures ready to
enclose the luminous incandescent mass of molten glass.
In this initial stage the metal structure is constantly controlled, to
avoid possible alterations in the form and dimension during the glass
blowing.
The glass, blown inside by able mastercraftmen, is modelled and shaped
taking form without the help of a mould. |
