Description

In 1932 Antonio Seguso and his sons Archimede and Ernesto joined forces with Napoleone Barovier and Luigi ‘Olimpio’ Ferro to found Vetretia Artistica Barovier & C.; the name of the firm was once changed to Seguso Vetri D’Arte in 1937. The turbulent era of the corporate’s history – marred by some severe economic downturns – ended in 1973 when it was once taken over by Maurizio Albarelli.

On entering the firm in 1945, Flavio Poli turned this system around to make it fresh and up to date. Thus Seguso Vetri D’Arte changed into the leading glass factory on Murano. Flavio Poli’s designs chimed perfectly with the 1950s and ’60s zeitgeist.

We are indebted indeed to Marc Heiremans for devoting years of hard work at quite a lot of Murano sites to tracking down almost the entire Seguso archive material: an implausible treasure trove which he has been evaluating, working up and subjecting to meticulous scholarly remedy. The fruits of his labors are presented on this book, which is essentially a catalogue of works.
