Glassworks have been operating on the island group in the Venetian Lagoon since the 13th century, and in the decades after the Second World War, the design language that is now considered the epitome of Italian post-war design emerged there: thick-walled bowls with colored cores, vases in strong amber and aubergine, and luminaires made of crystal glass and chrome.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis selection includes objects from the 1950s to the 1970s.
