Flavio Poli (1900-1984) was a glass designer based in Venice, Italy. Poli joined the Seguso Vetri d'Arte company in 1934 as a design consultant. During his time at the company he worked with both Angelo and Archimede Seguso. During Poli's collaboration with Seguso, the company exhibited pieces at the 1935 Brussels Universal Exhibition, the 1936 Milan Triennale, and the 1937 Paris Universal Exposition. Some of its most impressive works, however, date back to the fifties. Recently, Poli's work was exhibited in a Seguso Vetri d'Arte exhibition at the Design Museum in Gand.
