COLLECTION MURANA - Its mask face, name and matter speak of Venice. This vase by Fabio Novembre conveys the humanity, charm and elegance of this city, as well as its soul of glass.

TECHNIQUE SOFFIATO - This technique takes its name from the action performed by the craftsmen when they blow air into a long metal cane attached to a piece of glass in order to expand and shape it into various shapes. This glassmaking tradition has remained unchanged for more than a thousand years. Thanks to this ancient technique and to the experience and manual skill of the master glassmakers, a simple piece of glass is transformed into artistic masterpieces that are truly one of a kind.

FABIO NOVEMBRE -An architect with training in film direction, Fabio Novembre is famous for conceiving spaces and objects with surprising expressive power for the most important international brands, in industries ranging from design to fashion and from art to architecture. From 1994 – the year in which he founded his design firm in Milan – to today, his product design collaborations with Driade, Cappellini, Meritalia, Flaminia and Casamania have gone hand in hand with interior design projects for the showrooms and boutiques of important fashion brands, including Tardini, Blumarine and Stuart Weitzman. In 2010, the Municipality of Milan entrusted him with the design of its stand inside the Italian Pavilion at the Shanghai Expo, and in October of 2011 he curated the art direction of the exhibition “Lavazza con te partirò”. In 2012, he became part of the VENINI world for a new collaboration, which gave rise to works with original and unexpected shapes.
