Insider Designer:

Carlo Moretti was an influential Italian glass designer and entrepreneur, known for pushing the boundaries of traditional Murano glassmaking. In 1958, he co-founded the Carlo Moretti glassworks on Murano Island, where he introduced a new vision for glass production, blending traditional craftsmanship with contemporary design. Moretti is celebrated for his innovative use of color, transparency, and geometric shapes in hand-blown glass, producing a wide range of vases, glasses, and decorative objects that redefined Murano glass as a modern art form.

His works have been exhibited in renowned museums such as the Victoria & Albert Museum in London, the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York, and the Centre Pompidou in Paris.
