“Serapè is an innovative experiment with glass as an applied material. Inspired by 19th-century processes developed on Murano, triangular glass panels – hinged to grate a flexible surface – are screenprinted with digitally generated filigree reed patterns that produce a “parallax effect.”
Aric Chen, New Glass Now Co-curator.
This project is part of a wider research exploration that merges art, traditional Murano craft and cutting-edge digital technologies to develop new craft techniques.
Serapè is a journey to (re)-discover the Murano glass-making tradition from the Middle Ages to today; an historical artistic itinerary to illustrate the birth, development and evolution of the Venetian “rulli” (or “rui”) windows that are composed of hand-made blown Murano glass flat discs.
The process starts from studying significant historical evidence, mainly based on the work carried out by Pietro Bigaglia, who in the mid-nineteenth century used the filigree glass sticks (cane) to create an infinite variety of windows “rui” with daring bright colors (for that particular historic period). Merging the wide Muranese know-how with digital innovation, the Serapè project is an experimental art piece that deals with the concept of stained glass windows. Serapè is a flexible glass surface.
The geometrical matrix composition transforms a rigid and unanimated material like glass, in an organic system that can adapt to any ambient condition. The texture on the glass surface (that pay homage to the ancient filigree), is generated from a digital design concept that is then screen-printed on the glass. The use and the superposition of different layers creates a parallax effect on the glass given a further three-dimensional aspect to the geometrical surface.
The basic size of the artwork is 100x30x0.8 cm but the composition can be expanded to any dimension to adapt organically to the space since it takes the shapes of the object is laid on. This could then become a reproducible object that retrieves its uniqueness on the geometrical filigree that is screen-printed on the glass based on the particular customization. Therefore, the proposed solution is one of the experimentations carried out since Serapè can be considered a blank glass canvas system.
Matteo Silverio is a trained architect interested in exploring the potentialities given by scientific and technologic innovations in the design process, through a modern and multi-disciplinary approach that involves digital and fabrication tools.
During his professional career, he has collaborated with several international renewed offices, performing a lead design and project management role on various innovative projects, winning several international design competitions.
Many of his projects have been published in magazines, books, and exposed in prestigious museum or institutions such as the Mint Gallery, the Saatchi Gallery or the Corning Museum of Glass, among others.
Beyond his professional career, Matteo promotes teaching and researching activities. Therefore, he is currently lectuer at the Academy of Fine arts of Rovereto, the Istituto Europeo di Design in Venice and the University IUAV of Venice, where he teaches advanced 3D modelling and computational design.

Galerie Philia
Galerie Philia is an international contemporary sculptural design and art gallery representing emerging and established designers and artists. The gallery is the brainchild of two brothers who share a lifetime passion for art, literature and philosophy. Their distinct academic background sets them apart from their peers, as it sees them following a rhizomatic and transcultural approach in the way they select works. This involves combining elements from multiple cultures in what becomes a network of harmoniously interconnected roots, ultimately revealing the beauty of each unique creation. The gallery’s non-hierarchical curation sits apart from the ephemerality of trends and focuses instead on the true aesthetic quality of the piece – alluring and timeless. Unlike others, Galerie Philia does not focus on a single style – whether minimalist, organic or raw – but rather embraces heterogeneity. The Galerie Philia takes pride in discovering new talents, providing them with multiple international platforms to showcase their latest creations. As well as propelling the newest generation of 21st century collectible design, Galerie Philia also works with internationally known design artists. Galerie Philia has a strong international presence, with galleries in Geneva, New York and Singapore. In addition to their permanent spaces, the gallery organizes temporary group exhibitions and artists residencies in first-class locations around the world.
