As the name alludes, Stories of Italy is a Milan-based brand that is dedicated to the development and production of functional pieces made using traditional Italian craft techniques. Marrying craftsmanship, frequently modern aesthetics and references to the historical and cultural heritage of Italy, the brand — led by Dario Buratto — has recently expanded its repertoire to include lighting design projects alongside its signature bold glass collections of table and glassware. The result is a blend of design, craft and art, bound by high quality materials that are synonymous with Italy, such as Murano glass and Carrara marble, and created by dedicated artisans with a common goal of preserving Italian heritage.
