Archimede Seguso

Italian, 1909 - 1999
Archimede Seguso (1909-1999) was an Italian glass artist and designer, known for his innovative and highly skilled techniques in glass blowing and decoration. He was born in Murano, a small island in the Venice Lagoon, which has been famous for its glassmaking traditions since the 13th century.
 
Seguso began his career in the family-owned glass factory, where he learned the traditional techniques of glassmaking. He later developed his own style, which combined traditional techniques with modern design aesthetics. His designs were characterized by their elegant shapes, delicate colors, and intricate patterns.
 
Seguso experimented with a range of glassmaking techniques, including murrine, filigrana, and sommerso, and developed new techniques such as "incamiciato," which involves layering different colored glass to create a striped effect.
 
Seguso's work has been exhibited in museums and galleries around the world, and he has received numerous awards and honors for his contributions to the field of glassmaking. Today, his pieces are highly sought after by collectors and art enthusiasts, and are considered some of the finest examples of Italian glass art.
