Forms, colours and transparency revealed a language capable of transforming matter into sculptural presences.<\/p><p>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\u2019s vision and the sensitivity of Murano\u2019s master glassmakers, uniting colour, geometry and craftsmanship.<\/p><\/div><aside class=\"nm-ex-side\"><dl class=\"nm-specs\"><div><dt>Exhibition<\/dt><dd>Ettore Sottsass: The Glass.
