Michèle Richer - creator and founder of Milodina - Murano glass
A graduate interior designer from the Camondo school in Paris, Michèle Richer was not destined to become one of the few trusted interlocutors in the world of Murano glass. Yet, it was in the design office of a major company specializing in this glass art that she discovered, over 26 years ago, a profession as demanding as it is fascinating: that of high-end lighting design.
She learned this unique expertise on the ground, in the workshops, alongside the Venetian master glassmakers. She shared their constraints, rhythms, and traditions. This immersion forged a rare relationship of trust with these artisans — almost family ties that she still maintains today. Some are direct descendants of the glassmakers she knew in her early days.
The birth of Milodina
In 2016, with this experience, she founded Milodina, a house that celebrates the beauty of artisanal craftsmanship and the richness of Murano's glass heritage while bringing its French touch. Her mission: to create exceptional objects, often custom-made, in close collaboration with the island's workshops.
Lighting , mirrors , tableware , decorative objects
Michèle guides her clients through personalized projects, characterized by elegance, precision, and authenticity. Thanks to her intimate knowledge of the field, she knows which workshop to turn to, because in Murano, each door hides specific expertise, a language of its own.
Jewelry: between transparency, light, and gold
In parallel, she develops high-end Murano glass jewelry, designed in Paris and handcrafted according to the rules of Murano art. Her ORUS collection, with its inclusions of 24-carat gold leaf, perfectly embodies this subtle alliance between tradition and modernity, light and material, refinement and character.
