Andrea Tosetto
Born: June 4th 1959
Works: Kelly , Stockholm, and Tris, for Studio Italia Design
Education: The Art School and the Academy of Fine Arts in Venice
Marcon is a suburb of Venice, and a few kilometres from there, we find the island of Murano. In 1950, Angelo Tosetto could be seen walking back and forth along this path – from his workshop with artistic chandeliers in Marcon to the island of Murano, where he tried to learn the secrets of the local glass shops that mastered the technique of making handblown glass. He was especially interested in the light created through the use of two simple materials: glass and metal, which became his materials of choice. Angelo’s wish to design was combined with the traditions, characteristics, and history of his hometown. Pure passion and a sense of artistic belonging slowly led to the creation of Studio Italia Design.
