A descendant of the famed Seguso family dynasty of glassblowers, designer Pierpaolo Seguso combines a masterful technical understanding of glass with innate artistic talent to create exquisite Murano glass chandeliers, table lamps and decorative objets d’art.
The earliest records of the Seguso family’s legendary glassblowing designs can be traced to 1397. During the 16th century, the Segusos were celebrated by Italian Renaissance artists such as Caravaggio and Titian, whose paintings often included depictions of Seguso glass objects.
Pierpaolo Seguso’s interest in glassblowing and art began at an early age. At 19, he joined the Seguso Vetri D'Arte family business, learning the ancient art of Venetian glassmaking. He then studied at Venice’s School of Art and attended the Ca' Foscari University of Venice, graduating with a degree in architecture.
In 2006, Seguso’s immense artistic creativity and eye for contemporary design led him to be named Seguso Vetri D'Arte’s creative director. With his brothers Gianluca (the company’s head) and GianAndrea, Seguso focused on bringing the family firm into the 21st century.
Pieces such as Seguso’s chandeliers, wall mirrors and Cilindri and Mori wall sconces feature a variety of blown glass techniques. Several of his coffee tables and side tables include a patented luminous blown glass leg design.
Seguso’s fresh, modern and elegant pieces have led to collaborations with several luxury brands, such as Fendi, Mikimoto, Swarovski, Frette and Donghia. His designs have garnered critical acclaim, winning several awards, such as the Menzione d’Onore Compasso d’Oro Award in 2018.
Seguso’s works and pieces by Seguso Vetri D'Arte are in museums worldwide, including the Victoria and Albert Museum in London, the Museum of Modern Art and Corning Glass Museum in New York and the Museum of Glass in Murano, Italy.
