Ongaro & Fuga in India
Ongaro & Fuga is a heritage Murano glass brand founded in 1954 by Franco Fuga and Tullia Ongaro. Based in the historic Murano district of Venice, the company continues a family tradition of glassmaking and mirror craftsmanship that dates back to 1852.
Navin Kanodia officially brought Ongaro & Fuga to India in 2025, and Spacio is the brand's exclusive partner in India. The collection presented by Spacio includes the complete range of decorative mirrors, indoor furniture and chandeliers from Murano.
The Fuga Family and Murano Glassmaking
The story of Ongaro & Fuga is closely connected with the Fuga family's long involvement in glass and mirror making. The family's tradition dates to 1852 and has developed through generations of work with glass, engraving and decorative techniques.
Founded in Murano in 1954, Ongaro & Fuga continues this heritage while also developing contemporary interpretations of Venetian design. Traditional skills remain central to the character of its work, giving the brand a clear connection with the glassmaking culture of Murano.
Handcrafted Venetian Mirrors
Mirrors are central to Ongaro & Fuga's identity. Each mirror is individually worked using traditional techniques including glass cutting, elaborate hand engraving and silvering. These processes create details and surface character that are difficult to reproduce through mass production.
The result is a mirror that functions both as a reflective surface and as a decorative object. Venetian forms can introduce intricate detailing and a sense of history, while more contemporary designs use the qualities of glass and reflection in a cleaner way.

Venetian and Contemporary Mirror Design
Ongaro & Fuga brings together different expressions of Venetian mirror design. Some pieces draw strongly from classical Venetian traditions, with detailed glasswork and decorative elements, while others interpret Murano craftsmanship through more contemporary forms.
This range allows the mirrors to work in different interior settings. A highly decorative mirror can form the centre of a formal composition above a console, while a more restrained design can introduce reflection, glass and sculptural detail into a contemporary room.
Glass Cutting, Hand Engraving and Silvering
The making of an Ongaro & Fuga mirror involves several skilled processes. Glass is cut and shaped before decorative details are added through hand engraving. The glass is then silvered to create the reflective surface of the finished mirror.
These techniques are an important part of the brand's identity because the decorative character of the mirror comes from the material itself and the work carried out by skilled artisans. The result is not simply a mirror with a decorative frame, but a piece in which the glass forms an integral part of the design.
Ongaro & Fuga Furniture
The brand's work extends beyond mirrors into indoor furniture, where glass and decorative detailing become part of functional interior objects. These pieces continue the relationship between utility and artistic expression that runs through the wider Ongaro & Fuga collection.
At Spacio, the furniture can be considered as part of a wider interior scheme, alongside seating, tables, consoles and other furniture from international design houses. Explore the wider luxury furniture collection.
Ongaro & Fuga Chandeliers from Murano
Lighting brings the same Murano tradition into the ceiling plane. Ongaro & Fuga chandeliers combine glassmaking with decorative form, creating lighting that can become an important visual element within an interior.
The brand's chandeliers connect naturally with the wider tradition of Venetian lighting, where glass, craftsmanship and illumination are considered together. Designs can suit interiors with a classical character as well as spaces where a more sculptural interpretation of Murano glass is required.

From Venetian Heritage to Contemporary Interiors
Ongaro & Fuga does not limit Murano craftsmanship to historical reproduction. The collection moves between traditional Venetian design and contemporary interpretations, allowing the techniques associated with Murano glassmaking to remain relevant to modern interiors.
This balance is one of the strengths of the collection. A richly detailed mirror can work within a classical interior, while a contemporary glass furniture piece or sculptural chandelier can provide a stronger contrast within a modern setting.
Ongaro & Fuga and Indian Interiors
Ongaro & Fuga's range is suited to interiors where furniture, lighting and decorative objects need to work together as part of a considered design scheme. Mirrors can establish a strong visual focus, chandeliers can define a room from above, and furniture can carry the same material language into the space.
The breadth of the collection also makes it relevant to different design directions, from interiors with classical references and rich detailing to contemporary spaces where one sculptural Murano element provides the main point of interest.
