Murano Glass Vessels

Venini's furnace in Murano has always attracted the right people. A Finnish designer, a Milanese graphic artist and a maestro who first touched molten glass at the age of twelve, Tapio Wirkkala, Fulvio Bianconi and Lino Tagliapietra, each brought something the island didn't already have. Bubbles trapped in amber, polychrome reeds, horizontal bands of colour that shouldn't work and absolutely do. Glass as a conversation between three very different minds.
