Ettore Sottsass: The Glass
In 2017, LE STANZE DEL VETRO in Venice celebrated Ettore Sottsass’s work in glass and crystal with an exhibition curated by Luca Massimo Barbero. Forms, colours and transparency revealed a language capable of transforming matter into sculptural presences.
Among the glass works celebrated in the exhibition were Tavola Rotonda Rossa, Tavola Rotonda Acquamarina and Tavola Rotonda Viola, the Lacrimale goblet by NUMA, and the Tuareg raised dish by Serafino Zani, made in collaboration with the Cenedese glassworks. These works bring together the designer’s vision and the sensitivity of Murano’s master glassmakers, uniting colour, geometry and craftsmanship.
