Bio:
Murano is an island in the Venetian Lagoon and has been the centre of Italian glassmaking since the late 13th century. In 1291 the Venetian authorities ordered glass furnaces to move from Venice to Murano to protect the valuable secrets of glass production and reduce fire risks in the city. Over the centuries Murano glassmakers developed advanced techniques in both clear and coloured glass as well as refined sculptural forms. During the mid-20th century Murano gained international recognition for modern art glass characterised by elegant minimalist silhouettes where simple form and high craftsmanship were central.
