Glass Artwork in Murano Glass By Renato Toso - Fratelli Toso Artwork - Musicali
''Musicali'' Sculpture and Magazine/Paper holder from 1968 Venice Biennale made by Renato Toso of Fratelli Toso
This is a Fratelli Toso Glasswork, an artistic expression made as a folded glass made as a melodic wave, a great object to watch at ad very useful as a card and magazine holder on a desk or a table .
Designed and made in 1966, this is a very rare piece to find, it has been exhibited to the 1968 to the Biennale international art fair in Venice
Founded in 1854, Fratelli Toso was one of the main glassworks that were responsible for the revival and rebirth of the art of glassmaking on the island of Murano in the second half of the 19th century, as an active part of an important renewal process. In the first decades of its activity, production was based mainly on the imitation of the glass art of the past, but starting in the early twentieth century the production of blown and classic glass was joined by the rediscovery of murrina, which was destined to become the true trademark of Fratelli Toso. Today it has become an exhibition space that preserves a vast collection of art glass made during the twentieth century and its historical archive.

Renato Toso
Italian designer and architect Renato Toso creates beautiful mid-century modern and modern pendant lights and sconces out of creamy Murano glass. His designs have a chic retro appeal characterized by soft curves and effortless elegance. He is part of the design firm Toso, Massari & Associates, which he founded with his wife, designer Giovanna Noti Massari.
Toso was born in 1940 in Murano, Italy. Murano is a Venetian island with a long glassmaking tradition. Both Toso and Massari studied architecture in Venice and founded Toso, Massari & Associati in 1966. The studio specializes in architecture and lighting design for interior and industrial spaces.
Toso, Massari & Associati has partnered with numerous companies over the years, including lighting company Leucos, which Toso and Massari participated in founding. The studio has designed collections for historic lighting manufacturer Vistosi, one of Murano’s most prominent glassmakers. In 2007, Toso, Massari & Associati created a series of modular lamps called Ecos for the company. This series was followed up in 2013 by the Noon lamp collection, based on the moon’s phases.
The studio has won first place in several design competitions and shows, including the Venice Biennale, the Milan Triennial XII and the National Design Competition in Trieste. Its work has been exhibited at the Louvre in Paris, the Museum of Modern Art in New York and the Palazzo Grassi in Venice.
Today, Toso and Massari’s children — Anna, Marco, Pio and Tito —are all part of Toso, Massari & Associati.

Rare Murano Sculpture - Modern Murano Art - Handblown Murano Glass
Unusual, attractive and heavy Murano glass sculptural block. This uncommon decorative piece looks like a crystal rock, but is crafted in Murano glass as visible from the tiny bubble inside. Two faces are grinded flat, while the sides are polished but organic, fluid and irregular. The aquamarine hue of the clear glass is similar to that used by Max Ingrand in most of his works for Fontana Arte and Saint Gobain.
