Ongaro & Fuga: reflections of excellence in the art of Murano mirror
In the heart of Murano, the company Ongaro e Fuga continues to shine in the landscape of cold glass processing, specializing in the refined art of Venetian mirrors. Founded in 1948 by the grandparents of the current generation, the company has managed to keep a centuries-old tradition alive, adapting it to the needs of the contemporary market.
A family tradition that renews itself
This philosophy is reflected in Ongaro & Fuga’s production approach. The company internally manages the entire process, from glass cutting to silvering, to assembly and shipping. This versatility allows them to satisfy the most demanding requests from clients and designers, focusing mainly on projects for luxury structures in the world of catering and hospitality.
The Art of the Mirror
The process of creating an Ongaro & Fuga mirror is a fascinating journey through different artisanal phases. It all starts with the design, where the company’s designers transform ideas into detailed drawings. This is followed by the cutting and grinding of the glass, where each piece is carefully shaped. The engraving phase, performed by master artisans, adds unique details and decorations. Finally, silvering and antiquing transform the glass into a mirror, with different effects and finishes.
Prestigious projects
Ongaro & Fuga has left its mark on high-profile projects around the world. The company has contributed to the furnishing of a renowned jewelry store in the heart of Venice and to the creation of mirrors for a high-level restaurant in Paris. A particularly remarkable undertaking recently saw the installation of thousands of square meters of wavy and antiqued glass in a luxury hotel, demonstrating not only skill in glass processing but also competence in on-site adaptation and installation.
A look to the future
The Ongaro & Fuga market has evolved over time. If up until a decade ago the company focused mainly on the local market, today it boasts a significant presence abroad, with France as its leading market. Ongaro e Fuga represents an excellent example of how the Murano artisanal tradition can adapt and thrive in the contemporary global context. With its dedication to craftsmanship and the ability to satisfy the most sophisticated requests, the company continues to bring the art of the Venetian mirror into the 21st century, reflecting not only images but also the excellence of a timeless art.
