Claudio Tiozzo inherited the passion for glass from his father Sergio, among the first to use the ancient murrina technique in a modern way. At the age of eighteen, he took over the management of the workshop, immediately putting his personal mark on the production, with hypnotic creations featuring smooth surfaces and cuts, convexity and concavity, transparency and suspension. In addition to collaborating with artists and designers such as Alessandro Mendini and Vico Magistretti, he started Centro Studio Vetro, a non-profit association committed to promoting artistic glass-making across the world.
