About the Item

A beautiful and one of a kind Murano glass and mosaic sculpture with stainless steel sides to represent a swamp with frogs and flowers on a shell. Made by Manuel Bortolotto in 2012. Venice, with its unique history, the majesty of its palaces and façades, has over the centuries represented a magnificent open-aired workshop where great Italian and European artists have plied their craft to perfection. This perfection is not only visible in the works of the great, such as Canaletto and Tiepolo, but also in the creations of the ordinary craftsmen, whose labours have contributed to the building of one of the most beautiful cities in the world. This is the place where Manuel Bortolotto was born and brought up, and where he displays his collection of interior design luxury objects, sculptures, made with the mosaic technique and Murano glass realized in cooperation with the most important glass blowers. At his Atelier in Venice Lido, Manuel Bortolotto conceives and produces his unique furniture and art works. Each piece, “being lived intensely”, embodies his philosophy and lifestyle, and reveals his absolute care for detail and expertise in the choice of his materials. Trained in the fine arts, Manuel Bortolotto took up furniture restoration as an amateur but quickly succeeded in honouring the spirit of the original craftsmen. As his art horizons widened, Manuel Bortolotto moved from interior design to the production of furniture and interior design objects of great worth that are presently on display at his workshop. The artist share the belief that furniture and design objects should be unique, each exclusively reflecting the artist’s gesture and thought. Manuel Bortolotto has a real passion for materials, and an obsession for detail; he adoringly develops his creations by manipulating colors, mosaics and polychromatic glasses. The new collection of furniture, sculptures and art works there is testimony.
