Additional details
Profilo is a composition of planes shaped by light. The name itself evokes the precise contour the lamp draws in space, a silhouette that emerges as the essential synthesis of the whole. The structure is born from a rhythmic sequence of overlapping discs which, when viewed from a distance, form clean and recognizable silhouettes — spherical, conical, or suggestive of a contemporary reinterpretation of the classic chandelier.
The configuration is built through the interplay of solid and void, presence and transparency, giving rise to a form defined by subtraction. The glass elements, crafted using the traditional Murano technique of centrifuga, are characterized by substantial thickness, tactile vibration, and subtle organic variations. A delicate opal spiral runs across the surface, guiding the diffusion of light, modulating its intensity and creating a soft, measured effect. At the center, the lighting technology integrates discreetly, allowing the glass to remain the protagonist in defining the atmosphere. Light spreads between the planes, filtered and reflected, generating a layered and dynamic perception. The result is a finely calibrated visual equilibrium in constant dialogue with the surrounding space.
Available in multiple configurations, Profilo maintains coherence and purity of form in every expression. Geometry thus becomes a recognizable language, capable of adapting to any space while preserving its distinctive formal identity.

Few brands that exist today can claim to predate the Italian Renaissance, but Murano, Italy-based lighting company Barovier&Toso is one such brand. Founded in 1295 by the Barovier family, Barovier&Toso is credited as the world’s sixth-oldest business still in operation.
For over 20 generations, these glassmakers have become masters in the art of Venetian glass. Many of the family’s early creations reside in museums and private art collections all over the world.
In the 13th century, Jacobello Barovier became the first member of the family to begin working in glass. Around this time, an edict required all glassmakers in Venice to move to Murano, as all the glass furnaces were concentrated there. It is believed that the Barovier family established themselves in Murano in the early 1290s, and later records indicate the Toso family became a notable presence in Murano around 1350.
The Barovier and Toso families joined forces in 1939, on the cusp of WWII, to become the glass powerhouse Barovier&Toso. At the time of the merger, the Barovier business was thriving under the creative direction of the legendary Ercole Barovier, employing new glassmaking techniques and unique types of glass. His designs are still in use today, including the Rostrato technique, which can be seen on the brand’s iconic Venezia 1295 chandelier. Erocles’ innovative approach to glassmaking still inspires Barovier&Toso’s designs for new pieces and collections.
